A life drawing class at the Brooklyn Community Arts School ends in tragedy when John Sunderland, the handsome male model, doesn’t get up from his position on stage. He’s been shot through the head with a bolt from a crossbow. An impossible shot through an unbroken window. And why didn’t any of the attending would-be artists see a thing? Emily Stone, who was assisting the drawing class, and feels responsible for what happened to John, is soon asked by the young man’s sister to solve what appears to be the perfect crime. The only problem is: Emily is a budding artist herself, and a temp. Solving crime is not what she does. When the police prove baffled, though, she reluctantly accepts to take on this mysterious case, and soon discovers that John Sunderland was not who he said he was…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Nic has a background in political science and before being struck by the writing bug worked odd jobs around the world (including but not limited to massage therapist in Mexico, gardener in Italy, restaurant manager in India, and Berlitz teacher in Belgium).

When he’s not writing he enjoys curling up with a good (comic) book, watching British crime dramas, French comedies or Nancy Meyers movies, sampling pastry (apple cake!), pasta and chocolate (preferably the dark variety), twisting himself into a pretzel doing morning yoga, going for a brisk walk, and spoiling his feline assistants Lily and Ricky.

He lives with his wife (and aforementioned cats) in a small village smack dab in the middle of absolutely nowhere and is probably writing his next ‘Mysteries of Max’ book right now.

3.0 out of 5 stars an okay amateur sleuth mystery
Reviewed in the United States on 11 July 2020

Emily Stone works at the coffee shop and volunteers at a life drawing class. A handsome young man just started working with her and was the nude model for her class. Oooh.

After a 2-hour drawing session, John, the nude model and renowned ladies man, was lying dead in front of the whole class. How was a he shot with an arrow, especially when it didn’t shatter a window or puncture a wall? And how was it that nobody saw anything?

Well, apparently, Emily was also considered a suspect. What she also didn’t know what that John was actually the son of an Eastern European president, a corrupt politician, and his death could’ve had something to do with his dealings.

Then the victim’s sister asks Emily to solve the murder. But she was just a waitress, not a detective. Besides, this was a huge profile case and an impossible murder. How could she get involved?

I thought this was overall well-written and insightful. Although the names were hard to read, the whole thing was fairly easy to follow. It does get complicated though. There were more names (often 2 for the same person), making it harder to keep track of the people. But I also thought that Emily was smart and observant, making this an okay amateur sleuth mystery.
