Alexia Gordon writes the Gethsemane Brown mystery series, which follows an African American classical musician who relocates to a small village in Ireland and keeps stumbling into murder investigations. The series launched with Murder in G Major in 2016 and has run for five books, each with a title that references a musical key. The musical thread runs through the stories, as Gethsemane’s work as a musician connects her to the people and places where crimes occur.
Gordon adds a supernatural element to her cozy mysteries: Gethsemane shares a cottage with the ghost of a famous Irish composer, who helps her investigate. The combination of a fish-out-of-water protagonist, an Irish village setting, classical music, and a charming ghost gives the series a distinct personality within the crowded cozy mystery market. Gordon has also contributed to the Malice Domestic anthology series.
