I enjoyed the Irish setting more than the plot and went online to learn how to pronounce all the Irish names. Gesthemane Brown was a strong character, though a bit too much at times with her whiskies and lies. Eamon the ghost was a rather typecast Irishman with the beautiful eyes, "Darling" this and that, charm laced with anger. I would have liked more development of the youth orchestra characters. A light and mostly cozy mystery. Not gunna lie, I went looking for this when I was supposed to be doing a "Diverse December" reading challenge and uh well I'm a month late but it doesn't change how much I loved this book! First of all, I adore The Ghost and Mrs Muir in all its iterations (but especially the 1960s TV show) and this book was just chock full of delightful TGAMM vibes. I'm besotted. Gethsemane and I also share a love for Irishmen with nice eyes so that and the cozy mystery plot made it a heavenly match for me! There were a few weak points, the action scenes needed a bit of work and I figured out the mystery about halfway through, but it was a great little book and I'm about to make my way over to Amazon to get book two!! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: 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? .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

If you’re a music nerd, you will LOVE the music references and little bits about rehearsals and competitions.
There’s also the complication that in Gethsemane’s new living quarters, there seems to be a ghost (apparently, she can see the dead!) and he wants her to track down the person who killed him and framed it as a suicide 25 years ago. So, some amateur sleuthing to do. The beginning takes a bit to gain momentum, but once things got going, I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to book two.
