a new cosy mystery
The next book in the Kaye Eliot Mystery Series is out! In Pareidolia, Kaye Eliot and her family find another mystery to solve, in the form of messages from the past. A famous 19th century artist has hidden a mystery in the marble tiles of his home. With a single clue beginning ‘Once upon a time,’ the artist has hidden a valuable statue in the house.
- Pareidolia is the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. For example – the man in the moon.

When Kaye and her friend Clara are searching for a venue for Clara’s upcoming wedding, they stumble on a century-old mystery. If Kaye can find all the clues and solve the mystery in a single week, Clara’s wedding reception will be free of charge! A powerful motivation for Kaye and her friends.

a Kaye Eliot Mystery — number 5 in the series

The Kaye Eliot Mysteries are cozy, family-based and set in a small fictional community in Nova Scotia. So far, there are four in the series.

In November, the fifth volume in the series will be released. Pareidolia continues the story of a family who loves solving mysteries together. ‘Pareidolia’ is the tendency to perceive a specific, meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. Think of ‘the man in the moon.’ In this cozy mystery, Kaye and her family search for images in the marble floor tiles of a century-old country house, now used as a wedding venue.

The floor tiles are clues to the location of a valuable hidden sculpture. Each tile reveals the next line in a story, told in the black and white patterns in the marble of the tile. If Kaye can find the sculpture, a beautiful wedding venue will be available for Kaye’s friend Clara, free of charge.

You will love the various rooms in Marshall’s Elegant Weddings, the quirky folks who live in the community of Stone Ridge, and the members of the Eliot family, especially five-year-old Matthew. You may not love Kaye’s plan for her family to spend the entire week of March Break staring at black and white tiles. You may never again look at the floor in the same way.

This week, I am working on the book cover painting for Pareidolia. It will show Clara and her husband-to-be, the stone-mason Daniel, sitting in the hall of Marshall’s Elegant Weddings, dreaming of their future together. All around them are the marble floor tiles, some showing clues to the mystery.
