If you love Agatha Christie mysteries, Murder at the Symphony is for you!

This classic who-done-it continues the adventures of Hank Hinkley, a professor at a private New England college, and his student boarder sidekick, Elrod Elmo. In Murder at the Symphony, the two amateur detectives find themselves in the middle of the murder of a famous violinist appearing with the Boston Symphony at its summer home, Tanglewood, in the Massachusetts Berkshires. Complicating the murder is the theft of a priceless Stradivarius violin.

Professor Hinkley is commissioned to find the killer and thief. During his investigation, he discovers that the victim had amassed a lifetime of enemies, all of whom prove tantalizing suspects—rival musicians, an egotistical music critic, a manipulative and ungrateful student, and hard-nosed record company executives. Hinkley finds himself vying with the police to unravel the crime, all while his boss, the University president, second-guesses him at every turn.

Murder at the Symphony will appeal to anyone with a taste for classic mysteries. Its engaging mix of humor, an intriguing plot, and a surprise conclusion makes for a delightful read.
