Oh, Tracy. So misunderstood. This story blew my mind. The psychology behind the main character just exploded with more twists and turns than I had any idea of. I won’t write spoilers, though. Suffice it to say that the novel is deep and the one who murders has a penchant for using knives in an artistic manner as the person has the notion they create a masterpiece as they cut and design creations in the victims skin, deep or not, and they especially loved the creations of blood spatters on the walls and such. Don’t get me wrong, this book is not all about gore at all. The substance of real friends and people are just as important as the one who commits the heinous acts.

From Amazon:

This mystery is taking it from the top!

When Fiona’s teenage cousin, Madison, finds the new Maestra for the Pittsburgh Junior Symphonic Orchestra dead, a web of espionage unravels!

Fiona’s husband, Detective Landry, seeks out his mother’s international security firm, Global Shield, to assist with the investigation. They soon discover the Maestra was a Russian spy. Furthermore, an operative from Russia has been dispatched to the US to kill former female spies in order to protect delicate secrets.

While the possibility that Madison’s life is in danger, Detective Landry places her under protective custody—in his and Fiona’s home. Global Shield operative, Ivan Guseva, stays with Fiona and takes up residence in the attic apartment where her ghostly grandma, Evelyn, lives. Much to Fiona’s dismay, he’s enjoying every moment, and it appears Grandma Ev is too! Meanwhile, Madison is proving to be quite the master of teenage shenanigans.

Fiona’s about to move this investigation up an octave by pulling out her amateur sleuthing skills to track down a Russian operative, send her house guests packing, and bring her home back to normal—whatever that is.

  • Verified PurchaseThis romance/murder/mystery plus more did not disappoint me at all. I’ve been reading this series, not in order, only in the order that I bought them. The added humor is always a nice touch mixed in with a dash of murder, a bit of music, a couple of Russian assassins (I wrote about that bit first), people who aren’t what they purport to be, and always Grandma Ev and her two sisters pulling high jinks around others like floating coffee cups. Yet each book is different and unique.
