The Music Box Mystery
(2025)(The eighth book in the Cook and Inspector Mysteries series)
A novel by Joanne Pence
A music box, a murder, and a message from the grave...
When would-be gourmet cook Angie Amalfi takes a seemingly ordinary music box to be repaired, a series of grisly murders begins, each one inching closer to her and her fiancé, San Francisco Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith. As she and Paavo race to uncover the truth, they discover the music box isn’t just a relic—it’s a key to unraveling secrets that someone is willing to kill to protect. The discovery leads to dark, emotional chapters from the past—chapters that everyone believed would be buried forever.
For readers of the Inspector Rebecca Mayfield mystery series, this story takes place soon after Rebecca and Angie's cousin Richie meet (in the novella, The Thirteenth Santa). Richie has a minor role in this story.
NOTE: The main characters in this story appear in an early mystery series by the author which is being completely reimagined and updated.
Genre: Mystery
