The greater crime may be betrayal, not murder.
“There was no glance more cutting or cruel.”
Those eyes belong to artist Leila Goodfriend, momentarily distracted from laying down the bones of a painting by Iris McNeil Thorton, the noisy, unlikeable artist in the studio upstairs. When it turns out the thuds were Iris' dead body hitting the floor, Leila becomes obsessed: who murdered Iris?
The other Red Barn Cooperative artists—competitive, jealous and hypocritical—are all prime suspects. They all hated Iris. “An artist owes his life to his art,” Iris said. Iris was good for a laugh.
But no one is laughing now.
