"Orchestra practice hits the wrong chord when a fellow musician is found dead, and violinist (and now amateur sleuth) Midori Bishop finds herself investigating more than just a new concerto in Sarah Fox's new cozy mystery, Dead Ringer. Midori Bishop's life is hitting all the right notes. She has her dream job playing violin in the Point Grey Philharmonic Orchestra, and is embarking on a new relationship with the symphony's hot maestro. But when Midori finds a cellist strangled to death during a rehearsal, the maestro soon becomes the number-one suspect and Midori his only supporter. Midori sets out to prove the maestro's innocence, but soon discovers that he and many others have secrets they would rather keep hidden. For someone who was only a ringer - temporary member of the orchestra - the dead cellist had certainly made a lot of enemies. And as the investigation takes Midori closer to the truth, the killer gears up for a grand finale -- with Midori as the intended victim."--Page [4] of cover.… (more)

I like the main character Midori and her best friend JT and the mystery was convoluted enough to be interesting but I was really expecting this to have more music. Usually in the first book of a cozy series the occupation/hobby of the main character has a prominent part in the book. Hardly no musical references are in the book, perhaps the next book in the series will have more, but right now I’d say that this was a pretty generic cozy. At least a little more detail is given about the setting, and we learn a little bit a Vancouver.

I thought that the killer was pretty early on not by any clues but really the reverend's wife Cindy was mentioned a few times early on but then ignored and a lot of the prime red herrings had been ruled out. So as a mystery reader not a detective I guessed it was either his wife Cindy or sister Estelle

Kate Callahan, New York TV Anchorwoman begins an art series focusing on looted paintings never returned to Holocaust victims. At the same time there is a serial killer lose in New York.

The author works to intertwine these to threads with Kate Callahan’s personal life as several men vie for her attention.

An excellent mystery, a promising romance with family and friends combined in a taut suspenseful package. Highly recommended. ( )
