The Oliver Civic Symphony is a small-town orchestra with weekly rehearsals, colorful gossip, and now . . . murder. An oboist suddenly dies from a rare poison. A flutist's throat is cut. With policeman Fred Lundquist, Joan Spencer uncovers a daring melody that only a murderous virtuoso could perform.

superb plotting,

This review is from: Murder in C Major (Missing Mysteries) (Paperback)
i re-read this mystery this week after two years, and thought i remembered the plot about halfway through--and it would have been a good plot, as i remembered it.
however, i hadn't remembered it accurately--the ending came as a complete surprise, it's that tricky. the clues are all there for the reader to use, but the author subtly guides the reader in the wrong direction. the characters are well-drawn, the dialogue good, the writing easy and enjoyable. i was surprised to read in the synopsis that this was a debut. i intend to read all the rest in the series and recommend it to mystery fans who have gotten too good at guessing the plot.

Life is long, take care of what you leave for life to care for,
By Sister Zelda (Chicago IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder in C Major (Missing Mysteries) (Paperback)
This is a quick gentle read. Yet it questions the mark youthful behavior leaves on folks in the following decades. The characters claim their here and now, but act out of their long ago and far away. And their their plans run amok, as human plans our do. So clearing up this mess invites us all to take more responsibility for the lives we live today in the hope that seven generations will not feel pain at our behaviors.
