About

Sketchy politics and a palette of lies can't stop Serena Jones from exposing the mastermind behind the daring theft of a priceless work of art

Serena Jones has a passion for recovering lost and stolen art--one that's surpassed only by her zeal to uncover the truth about who murdered her grandfather. She's joined the FBI Art Crime Team with the secret hope that one of her cases will lead to his killer. Now, despite her mother's pleas to do something safer--like get married--Serena's determined to catch thieves and black market traders.

When a local museum discovers an irreplaceable Monet missing, Serena leaps into action--and a whole heap of trouble.

Susan May Warren, RITA Award-winning and bestselling author of the Christiansen Family Series

"Orchard introduces cozy mystery readers to a plucky new heroine who's smart and appealing. This artfully written mystery is full of twists and turns that will leave readers begging for more!"

Christy Barritt, award-winning mystery and suspense novelist and bestselling Amazon author

"To really enjoy a mystery, a reader must be right there. To really enjoy a romance, a reader must believe it is possible. To really enjoy a new book, a reader must get totally lost in the story. A Fool and His Monet accomplishes all these and more. Author Sandra Orchard does many things right, from creating living, breathing characters (a main character who's a feistier, braver me!) to doing a wonderful job of pacing the dialogue to tying up all the loose ends and leaving readers hungry for more. . . . That attention to detail makes this story spring to life. It carries readers seamlessly from the first 'I should have listened to my mother' to the final scene."

Kay Marshall Strom, speaker and author of forty-three books and screenplays for Murder, She Wrote
