Murder in Watercolour
An Elena Marchetti Cozy Mystery
Scriba
Description
When Elena Marchetti joins a prestigious watercolour retreat at the dramatic cliffside Cliff House, she hopes for five quiet days of painting, sea air, and creative renewal. But the house is full of strained relationships, bruised ambition, artistic cruelty, and people who have long histories with the retreat’s celebrated instructor.As tensions rise, Elena begins to see what lies beneath the beautiful surface: rivalry, humiliation, hidden debts, old betrayals, and secrets layered as carefully as paint on paper. When murder strikes, she is pulled into another investigation—one where every artist has a motive, every friendship hides a fracture, and every painting retreat smile conceals something sharper underneath.Murder in Watercolour is a stylish British cozy mystery featuring a female amateur sleuth, a richly atmospheric coastal setting, and bonus watercolour tutorials woven into the book. Perfect for readers who love creative settings, artistic rivalries, small-group suspicion, and mysteries where beauty and menace sit side by side.
