Fatal Artistry
(2026)(The third book in the Ruby and Mojo Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Cresta Lynn
A small town festival. A curious Corgi. And a dead body.
Riverbend’s Art on the Green festival was supposed to be a weekend of sun, sculptures, and small-town fun—until a high-profile artist is found dead. Ruby Morris never planned to play detective, but when her best friend becomes the prime suspect, she can’t stand by.
Armed with her clever Corgi, Mojo, Ruby dives into the town’s art world, uncovering jealous rivals, stolen funds, and a killer who seems to sculpt deception as easily as clay. Along the way, she keeps bumping into Detective Grady Vaughn—stern, insistent, and strangely compelling—whose warnings about danger only make her more determined.
As Ruby untangles a web of secrets and double-crossing townsfolk, each clue puts her closer to the truth… and closer to peril. With the festival’s reputation, her friend’s freedom, and her own life on the line, Ruby must solve the case before the killer strikes again.
