Description
“Gordon strikes a harmonious chord in this enchanting spellbinder of a mystery.” – Susan M. Boyer, USA Today Bestselling Author of Lowcountry Book Club
With few other options, African-American classical musician Gethsemane Brown accepts a less-than-ideal position turning a group of rowdy schoolboys into an award-winning orchestra. Stranded without luggage or money in the Irish countryside, she figures any job is better than none. The perk? Housesitting a lovely cliffside cottage. The catch? The ghost of the cottage’s murdered owner haunts the place. Falsely accused of killing his wife (and himself), he begs Gethsemane to clear his name so he can rest in peace.
Gethsemane’s reluctant investigation provokes a dormant killer and she soon finds herself in grave danger. As Gethsemane races to prevent a deadly encore, will she uncover the truth or star in her own farewell performance?

Murder and mayhem in the musical world set amidst foreign lands and lightened by children's pranks. A perfect balance of light and dark.
Lyn F, Reviewer
What an incredibly wonderful first book of what I hope is a long term series! .Gethsemane is a delightful character with real life problems that she is attempting to solve in an other worldly place, Eamon and Orla McCarthy's cottage in Ireland. The environs of the cottage, the surrounding cast of characters and the invigorating mystery all combine to make a superbly memorable book. I need the story to continue soon!

Gethsemane Brown is an African-American musician who goes to an Irish school to teach after a job falls through. She stays in the old house of Eamon McCarthy who was a famous musician and composer and is supposed to have died in a murder- suicide with his wife Orla, an equally famous poet. Eamon's ghost appears to her and begs her to prove that he did not kill his wife and that they were both murdered. This is a really wonderful book and an addictive reading experience. The mystery surrounding the deaths of Eamon and Orla draws Gethsemane into a well-plotted story that has so many twists and turns that you never know who to suspect next. The Irish village is so well described that I felt I knew it by the end of the book. The humour and craic of the inhabitants really add to the whole and I certainly want more of these books. Alexia Gordon leaves us wanting a sequel and I'll be first in the queue to buy it! It would make a good tv/film adaptation so I hope to see it on the screen some day too.
