The Panhandle Picasso

The Panhandle Picasso, the second novel in a mystery series by local 30A author, Kendra Hoey. A well known local artist is found dead in his studio, mysteriously impaled by his own sculpture for the Underwater Museum of Art. Recent retiree, Trina Scotsdale, is as curious as the rest of her small beach town, but her connection with the local law enforcement enables her to dig further. Having recently helped solve a decades old case, Trina feels compelled to analyze subtle clues and innuendos while seeking closure for her friend. As the animosity for the departed artist bubbles to the surface, the list of possible suspects grows. Unfortunately, it becomes apparent that being well-known does not necessarily mean well-liked. But as Trina tries to figure out who killed their local Panhandle Picasso, is she making crucial connections or crippling assumptions? Paperback. 271 pages.
