Seven Kinds of Death — Kate Wilhelm

Tootles runs a secluded retreat for artists, and is ready to go on a tour with her works of sculpture, the best known of which is titled Seven Kinds of Death. Constance, a long-time friend, attends the pre-tour party at the retreat. But Tootles’s work is vandalized and the tour postponed indefinitely. Murder of a beautiful art critic follows and Charlie and Constance become involved. Tootles’s fiancé, a property developer, his son, and his large development project a short distance from the art colony are included in their investigation, and everything becomes much more complicated. Constance and Charlie have to use every trick they know, including a Ouija Board, to get to the truth.
