Accepting a job inventorying a defunct music school in Cornwall, England seemed like a dream come true to newly divorced, empty-nesting Cin Fin-Lathen, whiskey-drinking music librarian of the Coconut Palms Community Band. Having her international travel and lodgings paid for, and the opportunity to spend time with her daughter, what could go wrong? How about being mistaken for a private detective, hired to find out who has been attacking the owner of said music school, being shadowed by a mysterious and handsome priest, or her hostess being shot before jet lag had started to set in?

Cin hits the ground running in the debut novel of the Cin Fin-Lathen Mysteries.
