The Mystery of the Brewer's Thumb
(2021)(A book in the Lucas Rathbone Mystery series)
A Novella by Saffron Amatti
Lucas Rathbone wouldn’t know an original painting if it slapped him in the face.
So when his artist girlfriend says the piece in the London art gallery should be a hundred miles away and hanging in their local pub, who is he to argue?
However, the ghost of the artist insists the London painting is the real deal, and he’s really not going to argue with her.
Not if he doesn’t want a headache for the rest of the weekend, anyway.
As he investigates, Lucas uncovers a tale of broken hearts, betrayals, and bitterness that goes beyond the grave.
But where did the second painting come from?
And who has the valuable original, and who has a worthless fake?
***The Lucas Rathbone Mysteries are a series of psychic cozy mysteries set in 1920s England. The Mystery of the Brewer's Thub is a short, standalone story written to accompany the main series, and uses British English throughout.

Praise for Saffron Amatti
"If you like Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries with a dash of paranormal activities on the side, then you'll love this novella!"
"If you like a cosy mystery, if you like humor, if you like good writing and endearing characters, Lucas Rathbone Mysteries are for you."
"These mysteries aren't just cozies, they are studies in atmosphere and characterization. With a deft hand and an easy wit, Saffron Amatti never stops surprising the reader. Ghosts are employed in a fresh and clever way that adds to the overall sense that these stories are fresh, new, and enchanting. The only criticism I have is that I want to read more!"
“I could imagine it playing out like a prime-time serial TV show and I settled in for a little murder, a little humour, and the bad guy getting caught. Nailed it!”
“This is what mysteries should be.”
