Wanted: Assistant to a painter (and a secret sleuth)
Dickory Dock has come to 12 Cobble Lane to take the job as painter's
assistant to the artist Garson. The townhouse looks charming and quaint,
but inside its redbrick walls lurk suspicious characters, multiple
mysteries, and one very eccentric portrait artist. Clues abound; and
suddenly Dickory finds herself assisting Garson not in art but in crime
solving. Can Dickory untangle the web of mysteries within mysteries and
discover the true secret hiding on Cobble Lane?
