A Mysterious Review of …
Portrait of a Dead Guy by Larissa Reinhart. A Cherry Tucker Mystery.
Review summary: This is an easy-reading country-cozy style mystery, set in rural central Georgia, where "everyone knows your business without even trying". There are a lot of characters to keep track of, though the mystery itself isn't all that demanding. Pleasant, but not altogether memorable. (Click here for text of full review.)

Portrait of a Dead Guy
Larissa Reinhart
A Cherry Tucker Mystery
Henery Press (August 2012)
Publisher synopsis: In Halo, Georgia, folks know Cherry Tucker as big in mouth, small in stature, and able to sketch a portrait faster than buckshot rips from a ten gauge — but commissions are scarce. So when the well-heeled Branson family wants to memorialize their murdered son in a coffin portrait, Cherry scrambles to win their patronage from her small town rival.
As the clock ticks toward the deadline, Cherry faces more trouble than just a controversial subject. Between ex-boyfriends, her flaky family, an illegal gambling ring, and outwitting a killer on a spree, Cherry finds herself painted into a corner she'll be lucky to survive.
