Murder in C Major

by Sara Hoskinson Frommer

Overview

The Oliver Civic Symphony is just another small-town orchestra, a gathering spot for local amateur musicians. It has weekly rehearsals, punch and cookies, and colorful gossip, and now... it has murder.
An oboist suddenly drops dead of what turns out to be a rare poison. A flutist's throat is slashed. Joan Spencer is new in town – but quickly becomes an old hand at digging out clues. And with the help of Oliver policeman Fred Lundquist, she uncovers a daring melody that only a murderous virtuoso could perform.

Editorial Reviews

Frommer's writing style flows with simple, well-tuned ease and the story moves along quickly to its "murder re-enactment" climax. She writes knowledgeably about music and the workings of a symphony orchestra, and she did her homework on certain scientific aspects of the plot.
Another Joan Spencer-Fred Lundquist adventure from Sara Frommer would be welcome.

Sara Hoskinson Frommer brings in characters and events for a reason. Her main character, Joan, a youngish widow who plays the viola, moves back to an Indiana town and gets into the civic symphony.
An oboe player is poisoned during a rehearsal. Frommer doesn't overload her book with musical knowledge, but what she says adds color and certainly sounds authentic.
