Life is looking rosy for Florrie Fox, manager of the Color
Me Read bookstore in Georgetown, Washington D.C. She’s
working on an adult coloring book of gardens, her romance
with Sergeant Eric Jonquille has entered a new chapter, and
the bookstore’s weekly coloring club is a source of
friendship and entertainment. No member is more vibrant than
Dolly Cavanaugh. Dolly likes to say she was blessed with
beauty and cursed with lousy husbands, but at least she has
a grown daughter and a stunning brownstone to show for it!
When Dolly’s love of garage sales results in her showing up
at Color Me Read with a rare book in hand, Florrie is
astounded. The Florist, the earliest known coloring
book, was first published in 1760. An original copy would be
worth a fortune—and someone else knows it. That same
evening, Florrie finds Dolly dead on the floor of her
apartment, a corner of a coloring book page clutched in her
hand. As Florrie delves into Dolly’s past and her personal
effects, she discovers a skeleton in the
closet—literally—and a whole lot of shady suspects. One of
them is an expert in the fine art of murder, but can Florrie
draw the right conclusion?
