Going to an 80th birthday party was not how amateur sleuth Daisy imagined spending a romantic week in Florence. It sounded as exciting as watching paint dry. But with looted art by the Nazis and forged paintings being the major topics of conversation, Daisy finds herself intrigued by the art expert guests.
The party leads to a surprise engagement and Daisy inevitably gets pulled into planning a high-speed wedding at the Uffizi Art Museum. But during the site inspection of the gallery's restoration studios, they find something unexpected. A life-model... artistically murdered.
All fingers point at the guests of the birthday party, including the bride and groom-to-be. With the help of her trusty assistant Sophia, and loyal dog Shadow, Daisy is dragged into figuring out who-done-it and, more so, why? Has the ghost in the attic who she dreams of, or the Ugly Child in the painting who she feels is watching her, anything to do with it?
