The Puccini Connection
A Milkwood Murder Book 1
by Sam Bond
Genre: Cozy Murder Mystery
An idyllic English village, a lovable heroine, and a Puccini-inspired
murder. Who knew opera could be so deadly?
British expat, Josie Monroe, returns to the idyllic village of Milkwood
and finds herself chief suspect in a family murder. Surrounded by cricket
greens, duck ponds and lies, Josie must discover the culprit if she wishes
to return to the US and Lady Belle DeCorcy is just the pal to help
her.
Josie is a down-to-earth, classical music-loving pianist. Belle is a
flighty, beautiful and slightly unhinged debutante, making the two amateur
sleuths an unlikely and comically inept, team. As if Josie doesn’t have
enough problems, she is also dealing with the “Witches of Milkwood,” an
elderly trio convinced that Josie is the murderer and that Belle is one
sandwich short of a picnic.
Living with a cantankerous cat named Elgar and her aunt’s handsome, but
seemingly untrustworthy, lodger, Josie is also coming to terms with
resurging feelings for her childhood sweetheart, Detective Inspector Adam
Ward. Luckily, tea and tenacity will see her through, even if every time
Josie hears Puccini she risks discovering another body.
The Puccini Connection is a cozy English murder mystery with a classical
music-loving amateur female sleuth in a picturesque English village with
quirky, lovable characters and an extremely grumpy cat. No cliffhangers,
gore, graphic violence, sex or overtly strong language.
