      About This Book

      OVERTURE TO DEATH

      The Oliver Civic Symphony is just another small town orchestra, a gathering spot for local amateur musicians. It has weekly rehearsals, punch and cookies, and colorful people, and now, it has murder.

      An oboist suddenly drops dead of what turns out to be a rare poison. A flutist's throat is slashed. Joan Spencer is new in town, but quickly becomes an old hand at digging out clues. And with the help of Oliver policeman Fred Lundquist, she uncovers a daring melody that only a murderous virtuoso could perform.
