Murder To My Ears

Murder investigations can really kill your zen.
Octavia Fields should know better than to judge things by their appearance. After all, most people don't expect a nomadic hippie to be a classical violist-let alone one who runs a seasonal music shop at Aerie Pines, the summer home of the Aerie Peaks Symphony.

But when her business season starts off on the wrong note, it's obviously the persnickety concertmaster's fault. If he hadn't turned up dead-leaving Octavia to find his body- she wouldn't have to deal with the handsome detective who isn't sure what to think of her impressive arrest record.

With symphony members cornering Octavia to pass on "evidence" by way of sotto-voce rumors, it shouldn't surprise her to learn the helpful musicians aren't the only ones who believe Octavia's helping with the investigation. When a threatening letter arrives, it's clear the killer thinks she's playing harmony to the detective, too.

When the detective doesn't appear to be making progress on the case, Octavia decides it's up to her to solve the mystery-before the killer hears their cue to silence her!
