Piper Haydn is on the case when murder comes to peaceful Cranberry Harbor, Wisconsin. With her piano recital hours away, Piper's last need is a piano problem—or a murder problem! When her new piano arrives with the body of her ex-fiancĂ© inside, suspicion rests on Piper. To avoid a murder charge, she must shift her attention from music to murder. With a killer at large, Piper calls off the recital and closes the academy. Believing that she and her friends can solve the murder, Piper tries to clear her name and tries to discover what happened to her secretary Lisa. As the investigation crescendos, Piper leans on the support and creativity of her best friend Roosevelt and fellow music teacher Trefor to help solve the crime. Can Piper and friends solve the mystery before the killer solos in on another victim?
My Thoughts:
Murder Goes Solo is a well-written and fun mystery. Poor Piper is
faced with a terrible situation. The new and very expensive piano she ordered
arrives with a dead body. Not just any body—her lifeless ex-boyfriend.
Piper and her best friend Rosie work to figure out who killed him. In the
meantime, they have to avoid the press and work with the “Hunky” police officer.
Piper’s family tries to protect her, but she’s determined to bring the killer
to justice. Chapin does a beautiful job weaving in Piper’s love of music and
sets up a great cozy story. If you enjoy cozy mysteries, you’ll love Murder
Goes Solo. I hope there are more books about Piper, her bestie, and maybe
even the “Hunky officer.” I received a complimentary copy of this book.
