I loved this book and cannot wait for the next one. The plot starts out slow but builds and builds with more and more clues until you're on the edge of your seat with anticipation. I definitely did not see that ending coming. Ms Cherry bring on the next one...

What a great suspense. Death on Canvas is well written with a plot with many twists and turns. Loved this author’s writing and will definitely be reading more of her books. If you enjoy good mysteries you do not want to miss this book.

This is a first-class mystery involving missing paintings, a century-old school for Indian children, a modern-day tale of heritage and inherited abilities, all set against the Big Sky background of rural Montana.

Excellent mystery that surprised me and smashed my way too low expectations. Missing paintings and a mystery that spans almost an entire century. Jessie O'Bourne, a renown artist, returns to Montana to house sit while her father goes on his honeymoon. Deaths of her brother and look alike aunt loom large in this complex mystery. Hope there is another book coming, Soon.

She's an artist who loves to paint. At the moment she's staying at her father's house while he's on his honeymoon. It's in Montana, so she has some lovely landscapes she can paint. The only thing out of place was a flash of turquoise next to the haystack. When she checks it out, she finds a young woman that dies before the ambulance turns up. Who was she and why did someone kill her?

BooksGoSocial and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It has been published and you can buy a copy now.

When Jessie founds out the young woman was coming to see her, she's confounded. She doesn't know her. But what she finds is the woman has traced the the history of some valuable paintings to her family. Where they would be hidden, no one knows. Especially not Jessie. But she better start looking for them or she might find herself dead...

With a love from her past being the acting Sheriff she also has to deal with her emotions. Then an FBI agent shows up who investigates art theft and she finds herself drawn to him.

This is a well thought out tale with plenty of mystery. The potential romances just make it more interesting. I enjoyed this author's writing style and would read another in this series. Jessie's love life has not been settled yet and I'm interested in seeing how it's all going to work out.

Highly recommend this thriller. Drug dealers, art thievery, murder and cold cases. Complex group or characters and multiple plot twists. Kept me reading until my eyes were closing. Never saw the real culprits until the end.. I am highly anticipating the second book in this series.
