FREE: Busy Bodies by Joan Hess

The listing, Busy Bodies by Joan Hess has ended.

Since his recent arrival, avante-garde artist Zeno Gorgias has been turning heads and attracting gawkers in the otherwise tame college town of Farberville, Arkansas. Zeno's "interactive" art--featuring an undressed woman lounging beside a coffin in his front yard--is neither welcomed by the community nor punishable by law. But as local bookseller and amateur sleuth Claire Malloy is about to find out, sometimes there's a dark side to one's freedom and artistic expression...
Strange things keep happening to Zeno. First his estranged wife comes to town, demanding he be committed to a mental institution. Then Zeno's house mysteriously goes up in flames. And if that's not enough, a dead body is found inside the infamous coffin. Now that Zeno has been arrested for murder, it's up to Claire to figure out what on earth is going on in Farberville...while the real killer remains on the loose.
