PAINT BY MURDERS - a Harrisburg Homicide MysteryAuthor: M. Travis DiNicola
Paint by Murders is an original, as of yet unpublished, mystery novel. It is the first in a series of Harrisburg Homicides. It is written, hosted, and narrated by M. Travis DiNicola.Overview: The Capital city and its art galleries, bars, restaurants, and long-held secrets are featured in this cozy-inspired mystery that is as unpredictable as the mighty Susquehanna River it sits on.When painter Keith Reed stumbles across a dead body in a Harrisburg bookstore, he doesnt yet know that the victim was bludgeoned with an autographed brick once used in a work by the internationally famous bad boy artist Alan Moonshine. Moonshine has been dead for ten years, but his dangerous legacy pushes Keith and his wife, Ginger, to try to paint a picture of what happened before anyone else is murdered, or before Keiths narcolepsy catches him napping at the worst possible moment. After a local art gallery recreates a few of Moonshines outrageous performances, the actor who portrayed Moonshine is arrested for the crime. Keith suspects that the real killer is still on the loose in this river town: a theory that proves true when a second body is found, floating in the Susquehanna. Like any good amateur detective mystery there are cats, detailed descriptions of gourmet meals, unique locations, and a quirky community. However, there are also recreations of Alan Moonshines most important performances, thought-provoking observations about the contemporary art world, and genre-bending moments that bring this story alive.Each episode of this podcast will feature subsequent installments from the novel.If you would like more information about the project, of have comments you would like to share, please do so on the social media pages where you found this, or email me at paintbymurders@gmail.comThanks for listening.
