Murder Is Private — Diane Weiner

Eerie violin music, flashing lights, a battered security guard, a dead music teacher….more than Susan Wiles bargained for when she flew to Florida to meet her newly-found birth mother, Audrey Roberts, for the first time. Audrey is in charge of Hemingway High School for the Performing Arts, a tony private school in Banyan Beach, Florida. The bad publicity surrounding the school jeopardizes its existence when donors threaten to withhold funding, and parents begin withdrawing their children. Luckily for Audrey, Susan happens to be a retired music teacher…and an amateur sleuth extraordinaire. Against the wishes of Susan's detective daughter, who has accompanied her on the trip, Susan volunteers to substitute for the dead choral teacher, and uses her new position to work on solving the case. Can Susan solve the murder at this private school? Or will her detective work get her in more trouble than she can handle? Find out in Diane Weiner's hot new cozy mystery MURDER IS PRIVATE.
