Chloe and Izzie have found their niche with Paint with a View, and now they’re getting an opportunity to throw a paint party for Halloween. Keeping with the spirit, they have their guests create paintings of a local urban legend, but when the night ends, the sisters discover an unsettling painting that turns out to be an ominous foreshadowing. The painting seemingly comes to life when one of their guests is found dead, and evidence points at their aunt.

They’re two different people, but they complement each other’s personalities well and make a duo that you’d want to investigate with. Their relationship gives some heart to the mystery, which helps to create a light tone for the story. Kill Them with Canvas delivers lighthearted sleuthing fun that is creative with a satisfying murder mystery, a love for art, and sisterhood.
