Murder at the Opera
A well-plotted and executed murder can be very operatic, especially when accompanied with Puccini arias. A cozy mystery, set in an Art Deco opera house, with two sleuths who are falling madly in love, and a villain inspired by Sherlock Holmes is a fun and entertaining read.
The Murder at the Opera, a cozy mystery set in Chicago, where murder takes place at the famed Lyric Opera House, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and Greek restaurants around the city. Violetta Aristotle has a colorful heritage—Italian mother, opera singer, and Greek father, master chef and restauranteur.
