Dead Men Don't Conduct
(2026)(The seventh book in the Carolina Teal Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by CC Trace
A Spring Culinary & Classical Weekend at the Inn.
A century-old secret discovered...
Murder in the key of D… as in dead.
When Carolina Teal discovers a hidden trunk in the attic of Blueberry Hill Inn, she expects dust, not a silver baton, a century-old musical score, and enough gossip to rattle the teacups. But when musicologist Kingston Harrison examines the music and ends up dead, Carolina’s charming spring retreat hits a very sour note.
Now the suspects are stacking up faster than Angela’s Lobster chowder orders. There’s Georgia, the prickly scholar with sharp opinions, Margot, the glamorous financier who loves control, and Holiday, the talented violinist with a deeply personal tie to the mesmerizing antique score.
Carolina, Angela, Goldie, and Ranger Jack must find the truth before an innocent guest takes the blame for this deadly arrangement.
Witty, small-town food-forward Maine cozy. Book 7 in the Carolina Teal series — every book is clean and stands alone.
