As per usual, all the guests are mostly friendly, but there is one that stands out…Judith Carpenter. She rarely travels with her husband, George, but is coming with him on this trip. Everything is going pretty well until opening night. When the intermission is over and Charolette de Grey is scheduled for her solo, she dies in front of everyone. Who would want to kill this famous flute killer? You will have to read the book to find out the who and the why. I enjoyed this book, as all of them in this series.
