The Music Lover’s Mystery series was Sarah Fox’s first published work, beginning with Dead Ringer in 2015. The three books follow Midori Bishop, a violinist whose life in the classical music world keeps intersecting with violent crime. Death in a Major and Deadly Overtures continue the series with new cases set among orchestras and concert halls.
The classical music setting gives the series a different flavor from Fox’s later food-and-drink themed mysteries. The world of professional musicians provides its own set of rivalries, tensions, and motivations for murder. For readers who appreciate cozy mysteries with a cultural backdrop, this series offers something distinct.
