About this ebook

Australia has some fine and challenging arts/music festivals. I was involved with one some years ago as a music reviewer and found this story gradually forming in my mind. Murder, of course, is never funny and needs to be treated with respect, but I am certain that those who are involved with sorting out the whys and wherefores of a crime would agree that some of the characters who get involved do have their comic side.

Marius Hogbein, the festival director, is horrified when his beloved festival becomes the scene for murder. The victims are all famous, and that bodes no good for the festivals reputation. But life has to go on, and he is dealing with performers who all have their own brand of ego to be reckoned with. The detective sergeant in charge of investigation, Nicholas Henry Jarvis Verdun, has no understanding of musicthough he does try. And having to deal with temperamental musicians is outside his job description.

Barbara Yates Rothwell

I have been writing professionally for more than half a century. That seems a long time! But it’s a very satisfying activity, one that offers the chance of research and the delight of immersing oneself in someone else’s problems for a while, even though they are creatures of one’s own imagination. Now that I am inevitably coming to the end of that creative period because, as we know, time waits for no man (or woman), I can look back with much pleasure on a full life in which I have achieved many of the things I hoped for at the start. What is left? Well, I do have a vague idea for another book, but not just yet!
