A Mystery Slightly Related to Rowing

Trying to get some balance in my life, I have started rowing again. Today I rowed and did some weight training so I was too exhausted to spend much time on studying. Instead I read:

Eakin's Mistress : A Jamie Ramsgill Mystery by James Bradberry.

Architect/sleuth Jamie Ramsgill goes for a job interview for a Philadelphia firm in which his old friend David Laycutt is a partner. When he arrives for his job interview, however, Jamie finds that Laycutt has disappeared and has taken almost all of the company's money. The story line revolves around a painting by Thomas Eakins, (famous among rowers for his paintings of rowing). It starts with blackmail, but ends up with several murders while Ramsgill tries to sort out the mystery behind the painting. (Is the painting a forgery or not?)

A fast enjoyable read, I finished it in one afternoon.
