Review: Murder in G Major by Alexia Gordon

A Mysterious Review of Murder in G Major by Alexia Gordon. A Gethsemane Brown Mystery.

Review summary: This is a solid introduction to this series. The characters are engaging, the storyline interesting but not overly demanding, and the setting well drawn. The ending is an obvious setup to the next book, but one wonders, given the narrow theme of the series arc, how long this can go on before it gets tedious. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Murder in G Major
Alexia Gordon
A Gethsemane Brown Mystery
Henery Press (September 2016)

Publisher synopsis: With few other options, African-American classical musician Gethsemane Brown accepts a less-than-ideal position turning a group of rowdy schoolboys into an award-winning orchestra. Stranded without luggage or money in the Irish countryside, she figures any job is better than none. The perk? Housesitting a lovely cliffside cottage. The catch? The ghost of the cottage's murdered owner haunts the place. Falsely accused of killing his wife (and himself), he begs Gethsemane to clear his name so he can rest in peace.

Gethsemane's reluctant investigation provokes a dormant killer and she soon finds herself in grave danger. As Gethsemane races to prevent a deadly encore, will she uncover the truth or star in her own farewell performance?

Price: $2.99 (as of 11/02/2016 at 6:30 PM ET).

  

See all three highly reviewed mysteries in the Deanna Oscar Series for $2.99 each on Kindle.

Whether it was a time warp or just a time jump, Deanna Oscar spent years in Chicago with her brother while he fought cancer and ultimately lost. But even as a ghost, he's not making things easier on his sister. He's refusing to cross over.

De heads back to New Orleans to resume her work but her brother fails to show up in Heaven and Gran is in a tizzy. Also De's friend, Ivy, committed our favorite medium to do a ghost hunt with one of those annoying TV shows. De wanted things to go back to normal — deal with supernatural problems and catch a murderer or two.

But the location for the ghost hunt is very much haunted and she can't say no when a man sits in jail for a murder he denies he committed while working at a bar that oozes evil. Deanna juggles angels, demons, and Death himself plus a puppy! She'll probably solve the mystery, hopefully save her brother, and maybe even find a date to her ex-boyfriend's wedding in time.

Arthur Bryant and John May of the Peculiar Crimes Unit are London's craftiest and bravest detectives — and there's no better pair to solve the city's most confounding crimes.

In "Bryant & May in the Field," a woman is found with her throat slashed in a snowy park, yet the killer managed to escape without leaving any footprints. In "Bryant & May and the Nameless Woman," a businessman drowns in the pool of a posh club, and the only suspect is a young woman who remains almost too calm during questioning. And in "Bryant & May Ahoy!" the pair go on holiday on a friend's yacht in Turkey, but Bryant realizes there's something fishy about their fellow passengers.

From London's grandest mansions to its darkest corners, from the Christmas department of Selfridges to a sinister traveling sideshow, there's no scene too strange for the Peculiar Crimes Unit and the indefatigable detectives at its helm.

Unfortunately for Pierre, the drop-dead part becomes all too real when Death Diva Jane and her furry little sidekick Sexy Beast discover him marinating in his own juices. So to speak. And okay, so the famous chef has been accused of cooking and serving endangered species, but that couldn't possibly have anything to do with his death. Could it?

The inept detective in charge of the case has homed in on a single suspect: Jane's ex, who's only the Nicest Guy in the World. She's never gotten over him, even with a certain bad-boy bartender invading her personal space at every opportunity. Throw the victim's hot Parisian brother into the mix and it's little wonder Jane is having trouble concentrating on whodunit.

You'd think having a high-strung, seven-pound poodle on your team would be the key to quickly solving a complicated murder. Turns out that's not necessarily the case. Who knew?

The infant obviously belongs to one of the sisters, but how did she end up in Texas? And why did she abandon her newborn?

Lucy Kincaid and her mentor, Supervisory Special Agent Noah Armstrong, track the missing girls and uncover a human-trafficking organization that leads to a seedy underworld in which nothing is as it seems. The bad guys seem to stay two steps ahead of them, leaving behind a trail of dead bodies and Lucy with more questions than answers.

Meanwhile Lucy's fiance Sean Rogan has a crisis of his own. An old girlfriend returns with shocking news: not only does Sean have a son, but Jesse and his step-father have disappeared. The last thing Sean wants to do is leave Lucy when she's investigating a horrific case, but his son is in grave danger. Torn between an impossible choice, he makes a decision that has far-reaching consequences for Sean, Lucy, and everything they hold dear.

To work alongside this intensely talented FBI agent is an education in unravelling how evil slithers through the world.

Smoky is now pregnant and happily remarried. She and her team have just been summoned to a baffling scene in Denver: In a suburban cul de sac, two seemingly happy families have been slaughtered and carefully displayed. This leads Smoky into an enormous underground bunker and a plot that threads through the entire community. And then … well, this is a crime that will grip the world.
