Retirement is a time for knitting, gardening, and an occasional quiet lunch with friends, according to Kathleen Williamson. Her sister Andrea has an altogether different point of view. When the sisters go to the Canaan Valley to search for paintings mentioned in a document found in an old hotel once owned by their grandparents — paintings that might be Monets — Andrea immediately becomes involved … involved in tracking down a murderer. Kathleen would much rather be looking for the paintings, but she goes along with Andrea, since the victim was their hotel-keeper, murdered just down the hall from their room. The question is: Does the murder have something to do with the elusive paintings?
There are many clues and many suspects, including hotel staff, valley residents, and the mysterious foreigners who come from the Eastern Seaboard for skiing. There are also many types of danger — icy roads, sub-zero temperatures, and a killer who doesn’t care how many people die in the attempt to make sure the right ones do.

The story kept me interested and wanting to find out who committed the murder. It was a clean entertaining story.
Loved the first book. The remaining books re-told the story in the first book so stopped reading by the middle of the third book.
It was a cute book with interesting characters. The flow of the book was a bit jerky at times but overall an enjoyable read.
Entertaining read, good character development, moving story line.
A cozy mystery for us older ladies. Two senior sisters travel to Canaan Valley, West Virginia in search of missing paintings only to stumble upon a murdered body. An easy read with diverse characters and kept you guessing.
First time I had read this author. Will read the other books in this series.
I really enjoyed this book, the protagonists being older sisters who still hang out together was a wonderful change from the heroines always being in their 20s.
cozy mystery, likeable characters, good story, not terribly exciting
Fairly good. No specific sex (thank you). Good read, but shortsighted, literally.
The narrator of the story was a very believable character and reminded me of me. I enjoyed reading this book.
Cute, easy read
Easy read.
I loved the characters. They are well drawn and believable without being “corny.” The entire story plot is interesting so you might have trouble putting it down before you are finished.
I love this entire “Moon” series. Stories are not long but they keep your interest. The main characters keep you coming back for their next adventure.
A good summer read. Moves quickly and keeps you interested.
This was a cute book that I read quickly. It inspired me to get the second book in the series which I am reading now.
And adventure and a mystery. Good read if you like cozy mysteries.
Enjoyed the characters look forward to reading more about them.
