Artful Demise Clella Cummings

Book 2 of the Shadow Dancer Series While life may be messy, death can be worse, especially when its murder. Two women begin the weekend hopeful for the future of their relationships. Neither is successful. Aran is now angrily running away from her life; Callie is desperately running for her life. Callie's best friend Marilyn, an IT auditor, has been murdered. Like the beautiful portrait of her dead mother, Callie has been artfully framed. Aran's best friend is a witch, but nobody's perfect. Together, Aran and Bridgette will use their magical arts to try to help Callie escape and clear her name. Unfortunately, the dead have become restless. Maddie Finch knows all about the dead. She is an eccentric author and historian and was once Callie's legal guardian. With Maddie as her guide, and her magical Guardian River watching her back, the quest for the truth begins. The dead may be buried, but so are their secrets, at least for now.
