About this listen

Ten years ago, Cosmo Bari vanished, taking with him his legendary masterpiece, Virgin in Pastel. Since that day, no one in the seaside art colony of Steeple Hill has heard from the eccentric painter. Surrounded by an extended family of Cosmo's colorful compatriots, mystery writer Kyle Bari believes he has come to terms with being abandoned by his famous father. Then his ex-lover, Adam MacKinnon, arrives with his new partner, the beautiful but poisonous Brett. Brett has an unerring instinct for other people's weak spots, and soon the quiet colony is seething with hostility and suspicion as Brett begins to hint that he knows what happened to the missing artist.

Another solid, well written m/m mystery from JL, with a vivid setting and beautiful descriptions.

Unfortunately the romantic plot line didn’t work for me at all, but I don’t want to include any spoilers, so I’ll just say this is less romantically and ethically satisfying than some of JL’s other work. Needed more work at the end to resolve or address all the issues that were so carefully developed throughout the book.

Well written but problematic characters
