(Gethsemane Brown Mystery #1)
271 pages / 8 hrs, 9 mins
"With few other options, African-American classical musician Gethsemane Brown accepts a less-than-ideal position turning a group of rowdy schoolboys into an award-winning orchestra. Stranded without luggage or money in the Irish countryside, she figures any job is better than none. The perk? Housesitting a lovely cliffside cottage. The catch? The ghost of the cottage's murdered owner haunts the place. Falsely accused of killing his wife (and himself), he begs Gethsemane to clear his name so he can rest in peace. Gethsemane's reluctant investigation provokes a dormant killer and she soon finds herself in grave danger. As Gethsemane races to prevent a deadly encore, will she uncover the truth or star in her own farewell performance?" --from the publisher
Love the setting, and it's a very well-written cozy mystery. The dialogue between Gethsemane and the ghost is snarky and entertaining. My only complaint is with the audio format. Gethsemane's thoughts are read in a British accent, but her words are spoken in an American accent. That was just too strange for me. I'll probably continue the series, but I'll try print next time.
