While I enjoyed this book, apparently I mis-remembered the review I'd read as telling me it was about a woman who wen PR consultant Sasha Solomon sets out to help the small town of Belen decide which project to do: converting an old Harvey restaurant to an art museum, or making the same building a bed and breakfast and train museum. But when she finds an artist's dead body, she must deal with other problems, including those of her mother, a damaged stroke victim who has little short term memory.

Overall amusing and I was prompted to finish it because I wanted to know who committed the crime. I agree with other reviewers - the romance link was totally unnecessary and didn't paint the main character in a particularly positive light. I find that to be really annoying in a final draft that I am paying for. There are a number of places where the editor missed typos and other errors. One of the other reviewers suggested this is an airplane read - I agree. Overall amusi I read this mystery because it was based in Belen and that's an area of New Mexico I am familiar with.
