I was sitting in orchestra tonight wondering if the bassoonist (orch. manager) was going to kill me! A vivid, exciting writing style with as many familiar images as I could cope with.

First in the Sophie Rivers Series-- Academic Musical Mystery
6 May 2012
Format:Paperback
Sophie Rivers is the amateur sleuth in this, the first book in this series. She is a lecturer in English at a run down college with a diverse but largely impoverished population of students. She also sings soprano, has a good friend named George who plays the bassoon in the Birmingham orchestra, and one day discovers a student's murdered body in an elevator.
When later during practice an accident is narrowly averted, and a second death is discovered, Sophie decides that she has to try to find out who is causing so much mayhem.
Sophie is bright and lively. She makes a good contrast to the more methodical police depicted in the book. Published in 1995, the milieu does not seem much different from the current problems in the UK. In addition Sophie's whole hearted appreciation of male pulchritude is appreciated.
The only con is that the plot is quite complicated, but not very deep, and sometimes it seemed the action got in the way of a good winding up.
Next book in the series is Dying to Write Pb
