You'd think a youth orchestra would be the last place you'd find discord. You'd be wrong.
After a parent is killed at her granddaughter's youth orchestra rehearsal, Lily pushes herself to find the killer before the orchestra falls apart.
Lily expected lots of rest, relaxation, and reading in retirement. It's not turning out that way, especially after her daughter and granddaughter move in with them unexpectedly. Thirteen-year-old Chloe isn't handling the move any better than Lily is, but she's enjoying the orchestra. At least until a parent is killed in the music library.
Lily is appalled. Who would do such a terrible thing while children are making music across the hall? Her old friend, Detective Henderson, is in charge of the case, but she's determined to investigate anyway. Then a couple of students are put in danger, and she begins to question her own judgment. Maybe it's not a safe place for Chloe, after all.
She's about to pull Chloe out and go home when the stakes are raised dramatically.
This is an edgy cozy mystery with a central theme of what it means to be a family.
