Paint the Town Dead

Aurora Anderson Mystery Series, Book 2

By: Sybil Johnson

Narrated by: Vanessa Daniels

It's June in the quiet Los Angeles County city of Vista Beach, the place computer programmer and tole-painting enthusiast Aurora (Rory) Anderson calls home. Decorative painters are flocking to the newly built Akaw hotel to attend the Ocean Painting Society's inaugural convention.

During the week-long event, Rory plans on shopping the trade show floor, working in her mother's booth, taking classes, and connecting with other decorative painting fans. She doesn't expect to witness her childhood friend collapse in class and die. When the police find no evidence of foul play, Rory embarks on her own investigation. Can she brush aside the lies to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice?

Maybe 2 and a half

I just barely made it through the end of this book. Rory is immature and her behavior is cartoonish. I won't be getting the next one.
