In the "fast-paced and action packed" follow up to Spur of the Moment, a sleuthing singer finds herself caught in an international murder mystery (In D'tail Magazine).

Mezzo-soprano Renata Radleigh is in London, still trying to make it as a serious opera vocalist. It doesn't help that she misses her boyfriend, reporter Peter Lombardo, without whom she couldn't have cleared her brother, Don, of a murder.

Don's shady ways might not be over, though. Because now he's claiming to be a front man for a billionaire speculator who's buying up cheap property across St. Louis. And when Renata asks Peter to look into the situation, things start hitting a sour note. Especially when dead bodies start turning up.

It seems Renata and Peter have stumbled onto something sinister. And as far as the people behind it are concerned, Renata and Peter already know too much . . . in this "second entry in a delightful series that moves effortlessly back and forth between the UK and the US" (Albert Ashforth, author of On Edge).
