Hailey Lind has created a character to rival Stephanie Plum in the disaster department, but Annie is brighter and faster on her feet. Shooting Gallery is a fun caper novel, with non-stop action. It has everything a successful caper should have, right down to the chase scene through the streets of San Francisco…. There's sexual tension, great characters, and disaster after disaster. Anyone who enjoyed Foul Play or Moonlighting will appreciate Shooting Gallery. Fans of Janet Evanovich will enjoy the series.

Annie Kincaid's talent for forging Old Masters landed her in a Paris jail as a teenager. Now, she's putting her skills to more legal, but less lucrative, work as a faux finisher in San Francisco.
But she learns that her knack for identifying fakes can still get her in trouble. As a favor to her ex-boyfriend, Brock Museum curator Ernst Pettigrew, she evaluates the museum's new $15 million painting, quickly determining that it's a forgery. That same night, the museum's custodian is murdered and Ernst disappears. And a dealer disappeared a few days earlier, along with a number of sketches.
To complicate Annie's life, her new landlord is doubling her rent. When another dealer offers her a reward for locating the missing sketches, Annie agrees. Her quest leads her into the path, and arms, of a handsome stranger whose name and occupation change with each encounter.
Annie Kincaid is a fun and fascinating new sleuth, whose adventures are delightfully different. Fast-paced, Feint of Art's pace quickens to franticness near the end, and readers may not agree with Annie's romantic decisions. But this is a series to watch, if only to see if two-sister writing team Hailey Lind can come up with an equally clever title for the next installment. And, in lieu of the rather clichéd recipe, the authors instead offer instructions for a faux painting technique.

Annie Kincaid comes from a family of artists. She was called a prodigy at age ten when she painted a flawless replica of the Mona Lisa. When she was sixteen, she spent the summer in Paris with her grandfather, Georges. Georges is a master art forger. This time, Annie’s talent landed her in jail. Getting caught scared her and put her on the honest path; but the tantalizing lure of the world of forgery remains. Once a museum employee until her past was revealed and her career ended, Annie now runs her own business, True/Faux studios. There, she puts her talents to legitimate use by applying faux finishes for clients and decorators.  She still paints replicas, but she makes sure they’ll never be mistaken for the real thing.
As the story begins, she finds herself in the ironic position of advising the curator of the Brock Museum, the very museum that fired her. Ernst Pettigrew’s career as a curator is on a red-hot trajectory. His recent acquisition of a Caravaggio for the museum is quite a coup. Imagine his dismay when Annie breaks the news that this is, in fact, a forgery. This could end Ernst’s career instantly. The two agree to meet at a nearby coffee house to discuss options. But Ernst never arrives. Heading back to the museum, Annie is shocked to find that the night custodian is dead, murdered. And Ernst has vanished. Doing some investigating of her own, Annie discovers that someone stole several Old Master sketches, leaving fakes in their place. While finding the originals and collecting the reward would be a nice financial windfall, Annie is convinced that there’s more going on here than meets the eye.
This is the first in a new series, and it’s a great start. Annie is a complex character with a past that’s dark enough to be interesting, but not bad enough to make her unsympathetic in the present. Her grandfather, Georges, is still up to his old tricks; he and the shadowy world of art forgery add some real interest to the story. Readers who enjoy art or art history will be enthralled with the wealth of information here. Readers who don’t know van Gogh from van Eyck will have no trouble, given the well-written and understandable artistic background. I’m anxious to see what’s next for Annie.

At the age of ten, Annie Kincaid was judged as a child prodigy for mimicking Leonardo da Vinci. However by the age of seventeen, she had followed her grandfather’s lead as a master forger. Narrowly escaping conviction and imprisonment in France, Annie has returned to the United States and honestly pursues her art career, forming her own business in faux finishes and cleaver reproductions of art.
A profitable transportation businessman, J. Frank DeBenton, is Annie’s new landlord. Geared to the high income clientele, he dresses to impress. But there’s more to him than meets the eye here, because when brawn is needed, which in Annie’s case happens unexpectedly often, he’s got the body and the expertise to follow through.
Michael X. Johnson. Just who is he? Is he the private investigator he claims to be? Is he Collin Brooks, the recently hired Egyptologist for the San Francisco Brock Museum? Or is he, according to Interpol rumor, a suspected art thief? Whoever he is, his actions conflict with his persona. Is he a good guy or a bad guy? I’m holding my judgment till the next book comes out.
Ernst Pettigrew, curator for the San Francisco Brock Museum and Annie's former boyfriend, requests Annie’s expertise on a recently acquired Caravaggio’s The Magi. It’s a forgery and she recognizes the painter. Before she’ll admit who committed the crime, she wants to talk to the old family friend. Not welcomed on the museum property because of her past, Annie leaves but agrees to meet Ernst at a coffee shop. When he’s late, she returns to the museum. The janitor has been murdered, and Ernst is missing.
The Magi is not the only forgery. ‘Uncle Anton’ has also been reproducing drawings. Albert Mason is desperate for the originals to be returned, and agrees to an award if Annie can find them. Facing a huge rent hike, she accepts the terms. She goes to her ‘uncle’s studio, but before she can properly search it, Michael arrives, followed by a mysterious woman.
Hailey Lind gives details about San Francisco not normally trodden by the tourist, but by the native. She shows the true melting pot of riches to rags, from honest people to criminals, and from cosmopolitan to Goth that the Bay area has to share. I understood how Annie could care about her family, her friends, and her art. FEINT OF ART is truly worth reading, and I’m excited to read the next in the Annie Kincaid’s series. I won’t tell you why, you’ll have to read that for yourself.
