Wish I liked this book better. What started out as a mystery in the art world, and had a lot of promise, got bogged down by annoying sexcapades and drippy dialogue. On top of that, the mystery fizzles out at the end. I could write more, but it's not worth the effort.

Die in Plain Sight is a romantic suspense novel from Elizabeth Lowell's, who was one of the first authors in that sub-genre. It's fun and fast-paced, but can start to seem repetitive if you've also read other books in the Rarities Unlimited and the St Kilda Consulting series. Like many of her books,

Die in Plain Sight is the story of landscape artist Lacey Quinn who decides to show famous artist, Susa Donovan three of her dead grandfather's paintings in hopes that she will confirm Lacey's opinion that her grandfather had impressive talent. Not only does Susa agree with Lacey, but she also thinks they were painted by a famous artist named Lewis Marten. One of the paintings depicts a murder, and Lacey begins to suspect that her grandfather might not have just been a forger but also a murderer. When someone sets fire to Lacey's studio/store and the paintings are stolen, she finds herself in the middle of a mystery. In steps Ian Lapstrake, who has been assigned the job of protecting Susa Donovan. Ian finds himself attracted to Lacey, and helps her investigate the history of not only her grandfather, but also the mysterious paintings.
Die in Plain Sight is an extremely good suspense story with an interesting mystery. The beginning of the book is a little hard to follow because there are so many characters, but after it becomes clear how each one fits into the story, it is much easier to track them as they become suspects or participants in this mystery. Intertwined clues and action scenes make it easy to remain interested in the book from beginning to end. A very enjoyable read.
