A careful lie. A town that keeps its secrets-until Nora Blackwell opens the trunk.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter a whirlwind of unwanted fame from her last brush with true crime, vintage shop owner Nora Blackwell wants nothing more than Millbrook's ordinary comforts: cinnamon in the air, Ella on the playlist, Gatsby snoring on the velvet settee. But when a legendary local theater clears out its late director's estate, Nora can't resist the lure of exquisite costumes-and the locked prop trunk that Gatsby refuses to ignore. Inside waits a small, haunting canvas wrapped with the care of a confession. It looks like a seventeenth-century Dutch masterwork. It isn't. And whoever hid it meant for it to be found by no one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSoon Nora is navigating the theater's fault lines-an exacting stage manager with a long memory, a poised widow with firm requests, a vanished ingénue who returns with a story she's held for decades-while a brilliant new ally from the college art department reads the painting's surface like a diary. Layer by layer, technique gives way to truth: the work is a mid-century forgery of staggering talent, a perfect lever for a man who collected people's secrets as ruthlessly as he curated their performances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs whispers of old scandals collide with present-day power plays, Nora must decide how to reveal a past that could ruin the living, redeem the silenced, and place a priceless target squarely in her little shop. With Gatsby's unerring instincts at her side and a slow-blooming romance learning the steps between trust and truth, Nora follows the trail from costume rails to canvas fibers, all the way to the one signature no one dared acknowledge-until now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dianne Harman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798255365807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d","brand":"Dianne Harman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852851359999,"sku":"9798255365807","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dress-rehearsal-for-murder-dianne-harman-9798255365807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
