Murder by Numbers

Five core values.
Five gruesome murders.
One artist determined to paint the truth.

I’m thrilled to announce that my newest Cassandra Fairweather Art Mystery, Murder by Numbers, is officially here!

Set in the sweeping beauty of Montana, this installment finds artist and retreat owner Cassandra Fairweather reluctantly hosting a luxury “wellness retreat” for the top brass of one of the country’s most powerful banks — the kind of institution that once destroyed her family.

The bank proudly promotes its core values: Caring, Integrity, Passion, Courage, United. But when the executives begin dying one by one, each death eerily reflects one of those very values, Cassandra realizes this is no corporate bonding weekend — it’s a deadly game.

As the sheriff’s suspicions close in, Cassandra must navigate:

• Lavender fields hiding more than beauty
• Art as a weapon — and as a tool for money laundering
• A killer turning corporate slogans into calling cards
• Her own past… and the people who’d love to see her take the fall

If you’ve enjoyed Richard Osman, Louise Penny, or Ellery Adams, you’ll love diving into this cozy mystery with an edge — where art meets intrigue, and every brushstroke could be your last.

✨ Why you’ll love Murder by Numbers

• A twisty, page-turning plot with both tension and warmth
• A strong, intuitive amateur sleuth
• An art world backdrop with delicious detail
• A Montana setting you’ll want to escape to… even if danger is lurking there
