Author:

Narrator: Stella Hunter
Series: Tails from the Alpha Art Gallery (Book 1)
Publication: Tantor Audio (March 29, 2022)
Length: 8 hours and 15 minutes

Description: A girl's gotta eat—and so do her three cats. Recently divorced art history grad student Hanna Harvey has just fibbed her way into a job as the assistant to dangerously drool-worthy art gallery owner Mark Abernathy. For Hanna, working in the field she desperately loves provides the perfect opportunity to begin putting her life back together. Soon her cheese budget is in the black and her feline life partners are no longer eyeing her like a six-foot can of Fancy Feast.

But when her boss's lady friends start turning up dead, Hanna finds herself in the crosshairs of a murder investigation. Even worse, hunky homicide detective James Morrison fears hers might be the next body he discovers.

With the "help" of the gallery's quirky cast of resident artists, Hanna will have to hunt down the truth about Abernathy's dark secret—before it hunts her.

My Thoughts: Hanna Harvey is in a bad patch. She's recently divorced and can't find a job. In order to find something to support herself and her three cats, she's willing to embellish her resume quite a bit. As a lover of art and art history, she thinks she'd be great as an assistant in an art gallery.

Mark Abernathy, gallery owner and hottie, offers her a job as his assistant. She can't wait to organize his chaotic office and help with the quirky artists who are resident in the gallery. From a misogynistic guy who's the best-selling artist to the quirky guy paints portraits of animals to the nearly blind old lady who also paints, Hanna has a lot to coordinate.

Hanna doesn't need to draw the attention of police detective James Morrison who's sure her boss is a serial killer. However, bodies of women Abernathy dates do keep turning up. 

I listened to the audiobook of this title. The narrator really bought all the characters to life. I loved the personality of the quirky Hanna and the mysterious Abernathy. Hunter did a great job with the pacing of the story too. 

I bought the Kindle copy and added this Audible Plus title. You can buy your copy here.
