Brushstrokes and Bloodstains: A Sadie Stewart Cozy Mystery
By L.B. Dayton
Sadie Stewart’s Christmas in Chicago was supposed to bring light, laughter, and healing after a difficult year. But the festivities are cut short when an infamous collector’s sapphires vanish and a grumpy client turns up dead—with one of Sadie’s holiday cookies in hand.
As the prime suspect in a high-profile murder investigation, Sadie is determined to clear her name, diving into Chicago’s elite art scene with her loyal Doberman, Solomon, by her side.
But when her faithful companion is kidnapped and cryptic threats from a secret Santa keep coming, Sadie knows she is running out of time.
As her investigation unfolds, Sadie comes to the chilling realization that everything about this case is personal–and it all points back to her father’s unsolved murder.
There is a dark secret that her father took to the grave and now, someone is desperate to keep it buried.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a strong third entry in the Sadie Stewart Cozy Mystery series, it had that cozy mystery element that I was looking for. I was invested in what was going on and how everything worked together to tell the story. The characters were everything that I was looking for and was glad I read this. L.B. Dayton has a great writing style and am excited for more.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another excellent installment for this series. Tons of twists and turns that kept me guessing and turning the pages until the end. I highly recommend this book
