A Pair for the Queen

Tish McWhinny reluctantly gets involved in restoring an old painting for a dog show promotion harmless enough but then the painting is stolen and someone is murdered. Is the crime connected to the rather shady new couple now running the local store? What about the retired Royal Navy man now much interested in art who unexpectedly turns up? Or niece Sophie''s secretive new boyfriend? It takes all Tish''s ingenuity as well as the help of her courtly friend Hilary Oats and free-spirit Sophie to find out what''s going on and catch a cold criminal. Lofton Vermont is a place I''d like to live right next door to Tish McWhinny if possible. Barbara Comfort''s Vermont mysteries have the wonderful quality of being both mysterious and friendly. I love that saucy sassy septuagenarian Tish McWhinny. Barbara D''Amato
