REVIEWS

 Cherry brings her artistic expertise and perceptions to the mystery  genre--Jessie sees the world in vibrant splashes of color waiting to be  recreated on canvas--and offers a bit of art history along the way.  ...The author saves a few surprises for the end in this enjoyable art  mystery.
- Kirkus Review

How  could this contemporary story have its roots in rural Montana in 1918,  where a Native American boy and would-be warrior faces a murdering woman  who poses as a schoolteacher, placing him in a position of defending a  flock of kids? The plot becomes complex and engrossing as the  present-day Jessie pieces together interconnected scenes of the past and  faces a cruel legacy that seems to belie her artistic perspective of  modern-day Montana.
 

Readers who anticipate a one-dimensional "whodunit" piece will be pleased to note that there's nothing predictable in Death on Canvas, which includes much artistic insight throughout the course of an uncommon murder investigation.
