Nancy Haddock's Paint The Town Dead

Nancy Haddock had me laughing out loud and truly enjoying the "Silver Six" in this the second of the Silver Six Crafting Mystery, Paint The Town Dead. Main character Nixy has just gotten the Craft Emporium open when a confrontation and disruption of the first class on how to decorate gourds brings an unwanted dark cloud and murder to her opening week. I have to admit that I had the murder pegged pretty early on, but I enjoyed how Nancy unfolded the mystery and confirmed my suspensions. Marriages, Motive and Mystery make for a creative story for sure! Some great one liners and saying that I hope become popular again, my favorite has to be "Down Right Delirious" Fantastic characters in this book.


Leslee Stanton Nix—aka “Nixy”—thought moving to small-town Lilyvale, Arkansas, would be about as thrilling as watching paint dry. But keeping up with her retired Aunt Sherry and her troublemaking housemates—collectively known as the Silver Six—has proven to be as exciting as it is exasperating. To kick off the grand opening of their craft shop, the Handcraft Emporium, Nixy and the Silver Six invite Doralee Gordon to teach a gourd painting class. Doralee’s spirit gets squashed when her ex-husband crashes the class with his new fiancĂ©e, but things really get messy when the bride-to-be later turns up dead. Now it’s up to Nixy and the Silver Six to use their melons to find the killer—before someone else gets painted out of the picture...

  4. So the title of the 2nd book changed? I thought it was listed as something else in the little preview at the end of A Basket Case.
