There's been a murder in the Stone Boat Art Studio,
a paint brush for fluffy clouds was sadly used for murder.

more sinister forces may be at work
But Cooper, a kitty on the scent trail to justice, and Princess, his canine partner in crime solving,
might be what the first-time sleuths need, to solve this murder before a final brush stroke blots them all out for good
