Death's Last Note
(2025)(The first book in the Lottie Reamer Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Donna Muse
When aspiring singer-songwriter Lottie Reamer performs her eccentric murder ballad at a local fundraiser, she never expects to catch the attention of legendary music producer Harriet Pembroke—or to find her dead the very next day. Suddenly, Lottie's dubious musical talents take a backseat to her new status as prime suspect.
Armed with her penchant for inappropriate songs and aided by her pragmatic best friend Jillian, Lottie dives into an investigation that spans decades of music industry secrets. The clues lead to a priceless lost jazz composition, five silver pendant pieces that form a mysterious key, and a thirty-year-old murder that someone will kill to keep buried.
As Lottie uncovers connections between a famous jazz pioneer's suspicious death, a vocal coach with a vendetta, a gardener with a hidden past, and a nephew eager to cash in his inheritance, she realizes everyone in sleepy Melody Grove has something to hide—and one of them is a killer who might make Lottie's amateur sleuthing career fatally short-lived.
With wit, determination, and the occasional musical number (complete with jazz hands), Lottie must solve the case before the final note falls—or she might be composing her own funeral dirge.
The first book in the delightful Lottie Reamer Mysteries combines the charm of small-town cozy mysteries with the quirky humor of an unlikely detective who can't help breaking into song at the most inappropriate moments.
