Flora is stunned by the unexpected turn of events and immediately deduces foul play. Beverly Russo was a spirited young woman with a big voice and Flora is determined to get to the bottom of her untimely demise - especially as the detective sergeant leading the investigation is so hopeless. The first clue in the extraordinary case is Beverly's missing ruby ring... As Flora makes her enquiries, she discovers that Beverly wasn't everyone's cup of tea and there's more than one person in Abbeymead who had reason to dislike her. But who had the biggest motive: Beverly's former beau Tommy May, jealous love rival Sally Jenner, or the local doctor who seems to be up to no good... Then one of the suspects is found dead in the woods near the Priory Hotel. The murder weapon - a musical instrument. As the investigation reaches a high note, Flora knows she must find the culprit and make them face the music before anyone else is hurt. But will Flora's tenacity put a dangerous spotlight on both her and Jack?"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Steele, Flora $c (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authors $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z Sussex $z Sussex $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women singers $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen fifties $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Sussex (England) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Cozy mysteries. 655 0 $a Detective and mystery fiction. 800 1 $a Allingham, Merryn. $t Flora Steele mystery ; $v 4. 941 $a 1 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A0ACFE4AC3511ED92CDDD2F4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
