Publisher's summary

Play a song for me....

Musicians are being murdered in New Orleans. But Arnie Watson apparently died by his own hand. When Tyler Anderson plays the saxophone he inherited from Arnie, a soldier and musician who died soon after his return, he believes he sees visions of his friend's life - and death. He becomes convinced Arnie was murdered and that the instrument had something to do with whatever happened, and with whatever's happening all over the city....

Tyler knows his theory sounds crazy to the police, so he approaches Danni Cafferty, hoping she and Michael Quinn will find out what the cops couldn't. Or wouldn't. After all, Cafferty and Quinn have become famous for solving unusual crimes.

They're partners in their personal lives, too. Quinn's a private investigator and Danni works with him. When they look into the case, they discover a secret lover of Arnie's and a history of jealousies and old hatreds that leads them back to the band Arnie once played with - and Tyler plays with now.

They discover that sometimes, for some people, the line between passion and obsession is hard to draw. Only in uncovering the truth can they hope to save others - and themselves - from the deadly hands of a killer.

Great!

Another great book from Ms. Graham! I love the reader except for the whining parts...made me cringe at certain points throughout but otherwise great.

I liked the crime drama and the romance, I missed the supernatural in this one.

probably my least favorite so far

well, to start the story line was okay, but the narrator's attempt to sound like the character's, be it male or female, had a New Orleans accent killed it. plus, I kept getting annoyed at several of the character's attitudes towards others a lot. I quite listening several times for those reasons alone. this story line also seemed weak. I guessed the culprit about a fourth of the way into the book already and I was right. plus, I even guessed half the supposedly "shocking events". not the greatest book in my opinion at all.

story coulda been better

the story lacked the supernatural element I've come to expect from this series and it was a little disappointing. I was also going that Dani and Quinn would finally get together, sigh, maybe the next book

Nice twist without as much paranormal

Great story kept my interest throughout. I loved the departure from the paranormal plot. Good to change things up.

Love the Cafferty snd Quinn series

My favorites were Let the Dead Sleep and Waking the Dead - which was fabulous. This third installment wasn’t as strong but it’s hard to beat Waking the Dead. Lol. It seems as though she moved these to shorter story status which is sad. So many legends she could explore. But read all three of these books. Great narrator.
