The Pianoforte Cipher
Play it wrong… or pay the price.One melody. One secret. One murder no one saw coming.
Retired opera singer Esme Petherington thought she had left drama behind when she opened her antique piano shop in a sleepy Cotswolds village.
She was wrong.
Because one visitor plays a tune… and dies.
Because the melody is flawed… and only Esme can hear it.
Because correcting it unlocks something that was meant to stay buried.
A wartime secret.
A hidden code.
A name someone will kill to protect.
As Esme digs deeper, she discovers that in Lower Wychwood:
Everyone remembers something.
No one tells the whole truth.
And the past is still playing out… note by note.
The instrument holds the answer.
The music reveals the truth.
And the final note… is deadly.
Can Esme solve the cipher before the silence claims her too?
A cozy mystery filled with secrets, suspense, and a perfectly tuned puzzle.
