jasmyn9 's review for:

4.0

Behind the Frame by Tracy Gardner finds Savannah deep in another murder investigation. It all starts with a beheaded statue in the park and ends up with a dead councilman in his house. And of course, this all happens as the town is preparing for the Art in the Park festival.

Savannah is certain the event will pull out, and she dives right in trying to figure out what is going on. Her investigation takes on a life of its own as she follows leads and uncovers a little more than she bargained for.

With plenty of quirky characters and high-speed antics, Behind the Frame kept me turning the pages and wondering what Savannah and her sisters (I still can't keep them straight in my head though) would get up to next. I almost wish the sisters would have a book that really focused on them so I could finally keep their names straight. I just can't seem to do it even though I really want to!

The ending was a bit of a surprise, and not where the case had led us at the beginning. Savannah was as fun as ever, and watching her relationship with the townsfolk grow was a lot of fun. I see her settling in for the long haul here and having plenty of adventures down the line.
