Review: The Sound of Murder by Cindy Brown

A Mysterious Review of The Sound of Murder by Cindy Brown. An Ivy Meadows Mystery.

Review summary: This is a very enjoyable mystery in what is quickly turning out to be a very enjoyable series. Ivy's investigation is well-structured, and leaves the reader guessing until the very end, but it is the musical she's appearing in that is the highlight of the story. Overall, a charming and thoroughly entertaining book. (Click here for text of full review.)

The Sound of Murder
Cindy Brown
An Ivy Meadows Mystery
Henery Press (October 2015)

Publisher synopsis: All Ivy Meadows wants is to be an actor. And a private investigator. Plus she'd really like a pair of clean underwear, a place to stay since her apartment caught fire, and to overcome her fear of singing in public. Minor inconveniences aside, Ivy might be on a roll. She's just landed her first real PI case, a seeming suicide in a retirement community. Not only that, but a big New York producer is coming to Arizona to see Ivy in the world premiere of The Sound of Cabaret (singing nuns AND Berlin burlesque).

But all is not raindrops on roses. A creep in a convertible is tailing Ivy, a local posse member is way too interested in her investigation, and something is seriously wrong with one of her castmates. And that suicide — could it be murder? As the curtain rises, Ivy finds herself smack in the sights of a serial killer.
