January 1921: the Idaho All-State Music Competition has come to the mountain town of Timber Coulee—and so has a killer. When Amanda Parrish’s old conservatory friend Professor Gerald Voss turns up dead in a frozen lake, suspicion falls on her co-manager and the clock is already ticking on the killer’s escape. Amanda must follow obscure clues, untangle a years-old legal dispute, and solve a murder before the next train departs—all while managing the music competition and deflecting the pointed observations of her future mother-in-law. This fourth book in the beloved Music Shop Mysteries series of historical cozy mysteries will appeal to fans of Rhys Bowen, Kate Khavari, and Sara Rosett.
