Every painting tells a story. Some refuse to stay silent.
When art historian Serena Penrose exposes a forgery at a coastal gallery, she expects bruised egos-not a body on the studio floor. In the quiet harbour town of Tidecombe Bay, scandal spreads faster than salt on the wind. The victim is Jasper Baines, a celebrated painter with too many secrets and one final masterpiece that might be worth killing for.
Drawn into a web of deceit that stretches from Oxford’s academic halls to the storm-tossed Devon coast, Serena soon learns that every brushstroke hides a clue and every friendship conceals a motive. When the past begins to stir beneath layers of pigment, she must decide how far she’ll go to uncover the truth-and what it will cost her.
The Forger’s Palette is the first novel in The Tidecombe Bay Mysteries-a series of atmospheric cozy-gothic mysteries where art, history, and haunting secrets meet by the edge of the sea.
