  The Mysterious Affair at the Met

  A  favorite destination—even for New Yorkers—is the venerable Metropolitan  Museum of Art. On this particular day, “the Met,” as generally known, experiences an unusually large number of visitors. Visitors have their choice of viewing over two million works of art spanning five millennia of cultures worldwide. But some among them are up to something more sinister.
   
  At one point, the  Met’s surveillance cameras’ lenses capture “a mysterious-looking couple” amid the many visitors strolling about the many galleries. The pair is dripping wet in their matching taupe Burberry trench coats. Just  as the two of them walk past Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   a masterpiece of Marc Chagall, a large tourist group—who, oddly enough,  all are wearing distinctive red-and-white-striped vinyl raincoats—converges around them. But it is what happens next that baffles the museum’s surveillance crew. After “the mysterious-looking couple” pulls off their prank, they and the large tourist group walk out  of that particular camera’s range, becoming submerged elsewhere in the interminable galleries of the gigantic museum.
   
  But when a docent notices “something strange” with Chagall’s Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   in short order, the museum-goers inside the Chagall gallery hear “High Alert!” and watch in horror as a heavy metal grille drops down from the ceiling to the floor, effectively locking them inside the gallery.
   
  And thus began what later came to be called The Mysterious Affair at the Met.

  An uncomfortable weekend awaits LA family lawyer Sandy Moss when she makes her way to her hometown in New Jersey for the wedding of her cousin Stephanie, sweetly nicknamed Skinny. Uncomfortable, because Sandy is not really looking forward to seeing her family, but at least her boyfriend, Hollywood movie star Patrick McNabb, is by her side. 
   
   
   
  However, if Sandy thought a weekend with her criticizing mother and aggravating sister was bad, she definitely wasn't prepared for the rehearsal event at the wedding venue! When Skinny enters the room, all eyes are on her and her beautiful party dress . . . covered in blood, with a knife in her hand. 
   
   
   
  Skinny says she didn't do it. But with dozens of wedding guests witnessing her dramatic entrance, the question of who killed the corpse in the kitchen seems an easy one to answer—and an equally easy court case to lose. 
   
   
   
  Reluctantly agreeing to represent her cousin, Sandy sets to work. But how can she save Skinny when she's not at all sure she's innocent . . . and when Skinny seems oddly determined to put herself in jail?
