An Affinity for Murder — Anne White

Writer Ellen Davies is pursuing an exciting feature story when she lands an interview with an expert on the work of legendary artist Georgia O'Keeffe, who spent many summers at upstate New York's beautiful Lake George. But her face-to-face with the art critic turns tragic; she finds him burned nearly beyond recognition, a knife protruding from his back. Adding to the mystery is a cache of recently discovered paintings that may or may not be O'Keeffe originals. Before Ellen can retrieve them from their locked closet hideaway, all of the paintings except one, the picture of a black iris, have vanished. And while it may be safe in Ellen's hands, Ellen herself is working her way deeper into danger, deception and mistaken identity, as a killer creates a masterpiece of well-timed murder.
