Draw and Order

A Paint & Shine Mystery, Book 2

By: Cheryl Hollon

Narrated by: Courtney Patterson

Appalachian artist and local guide Miranda Trent opens a new murder investigation after her Paint & Shine tour group discovers the remains of a missing hiker along an ancient trail....

For her latest excursion, Miranda is thrilled to take a close-knit group of rock climbers, the Risky Business Adventurers, up the challenging Battleship Rock Trail to paint and sample moonshine. But the outing is cut short when they discover a skeleton near the trailhead. Even more startling, the bones belong to Howard Cable, Miranda's cousin...and a former classmate of the Risky Business group.

The sheriff chalks it up to a hiking accident, but Miranda isn't convinced that Howard, an experienced woodsman, died within sight of a well-marked trail. So, with the help of Ranger Austin Morgan, Miranda sets out on her own investigation and discovers that the Risky Business group is keeping plenty of secrets. But is one of them hiding the truth about Howard's death?

DRAW AND ORDER

This is a good cozy mystery. One reason is its a good story. Another reason is the location is near where I live. Its real easy to get caught up in the story. Miranda finds bones of a guy thats been dead for five years. She is determined to prove he was killed and not just died. I like the county atmosphere. Also the small town atmosphere. Courtney Patterson does a good job narrating this book.

Pretty Good

Draw and Order is a pretty good cozy mystery but the pace is a bit slow. The story is interesting and I like the characters so I'll get the next book.
