Here's what Publishers' Weekly said about the
book on Feb. 8th:
Nicki and Nate Price, private investigators
and cousins, follow up on a suspicious call from Danny,
an old school friend and part-time saxophonist on
Memphis’s Beale Street. When Danny is found dead, his
sister, Isabella, urges the two PIs to investigate
alongside the official police case. Nicki’s zealous
enthusiasm earns her the censure of the local police,
leaving Nate to do most of the work—which conveniently
allows him to explore his attraction to Isabella.
Emotionally fragile Isabelle, struggling with her own
feelings for Nate, must also attempt to placate a
disgruntled former suitor. In the meantime, Nicki
uncovers a decades-old mystery involving heiresses and
jewelry at the luxury hotel where they are staying. The
two mysteries develop side by side, but somehow never
overlap—a curious plotting strategy for veteran author
Ellis (Midnight on the Mississippi). Each investigation,
however, does showcase both the complex, well-developed
personalities of the main characters as well as the world
of jazz and blues that makes Memphis famous. This newest
whodunit proves a worthy addition to the Secrets of the
South Mysteries series.
