Set in the idyllic Tanglewood, the real-life summer home of the Boston Symphony, Murder at the Symphony is a classic who-done-it in the vein of Agatha Christie. The book continues the adventures of Hank Hinkley, a professor at a private New England college and his student boarder sidekick, Elrod Elmo. In this adventure, the two detectives find themselves in the middle of the murder of a famous violinist appearing with the symphony. Complicating the murder is the theft of maestro’s Stradivarius violin. Visiting the Berkshires for a weekend of concerts, Hinkley is commissioned to find the killer and thief. In the process of his investigation, he discovers that the victim had amassed a lifetime of enemies, all of whom prove tantalizing suspects. These suspects include rival musicians, an egotistical music critic, a manipulative and ungrateful student, and hard-nosed record company executives. He finds himself vying with the police to unravel the crime. Meanwhile, his boss, the University President, is second-guessing him all the way.
The book will appeal to anyone with a taste for classic mysteries. Its engaging mix of humor, an intriguing plot, and a surprise conclusion will delight any mystery reader.
