    About this series

    A Gilded Age ghost helps psychic painter Celeste Cabot catch a killer . .
     
    Rising up against the beautiful backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Biltmore Estate is a magnificent mansion in Asheville, North Carolina, built as a summer home for George Washington Vanderbilt II—yes, of those Vanderbilts—during the Gilded Age. Nowadays, it’s the site of an annual craft fair. Unfortunately, it’s also about to become a crime scene . . .
     
    Celeste is hard to miss as she pulls up with her pink and white Shasta trailer and adorable Chihuahua, Van Gogh—Van for short. But before she can show off her artwork at the fair, a tour guide is found strangled by a velvet rope barrier and a valuable painting goes missing. With a rogues’ gallery of sketchy suspects, Celeste welcomes the help of a pair of handsome detectives—and a ghost with a special interest in the case . . .

      Haunted art is in the eye of the beholder . . .   Artist Celeste Cabot welcomes the chance to show her paintings at a craft fair in her hometown of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where she and her Chihuahua, Van Gogh, can park her vintage Shasta trailer and sell her creations, too.   Unfortunately, her sales take a hit when a customer returns a painting, claiming it’s haunted. When a fellow vendor discovers images hidden in Celeste’s artwork—and a ghost pays her a late-night visit—she’s shocked to realize she has psychic abilities. After the grumpy manager of the craft fair is found with a knife in his neck, Celeste’s brushes with the paranormal may help fill in the picture—and make sure the wrong person doesn’t get framed . . .   Praise for Rose Pressey and the Haunted Vintage Mysteries   “Rose Pressey’s books are fun!”—Janet Evanovich   “Chock full of ghosts, cats possessed by spirits, a handsome police officer boyfriend, and tips on the afterlife and vintage shopping.” —Kirkus Reviews   “An appealing protagonist who is as sweet as a Southern accent.” —Library Journal   “A sheer delight.” —Kate Carlisle

      There’s a killer in the picture . . .   Celeste Cabot has a flair for painting—and a touch of paranormal talent too. She’s just arrived to sell her artwork at a big craft fair in North Carolina, complete with rides, games, and deep-fried everything. But the sunny landscape takes on a darker hue when her Chihuahua, Van Gogh, leads her to the riverbank—and to a body that was definitely not part of her design.   With help from a handsome fellow artist, Celeste sets out to draw the brazen killer onto her canvas. She’ll need to balance the victim’s past, a suspected love triangle, and a long-ago accident—and also consult with a medium and a spirit—to try to paint a murderous fiend into a corner . . .   Includes tips and recipes!   PRAISE FOR ROSE PRESSEY AND MURDER CAN MESS UP YOUR MASTERPIECE “Plucky, self-employed heroine, cute pet, scary ghost, and two eligible suitors: everything a cozy needs.” —Kirkus Reviews “The paranormal twist adds a bit of flair to this quirky new series.” —The Parkersburg News & Sentinel   “Absolutely delightful!
