Review: THE COUNTRY MUSIC MURDERS

This second Hilary Quayle mystery is set at the annual Country Music Awards in Nashville . . . and begins with a baffling poisoning. Hilary and her assistant Gene have been asked to do the public relations for the Boulder Clan, one of America's oldest singing blue grass families. Gene, and later Hilary, go to Nashville for the annual awards at the Grand Ole Opry. But by the time Hilary arrives in Music City, U.S.A., Amanda Boulder, the lead singer, has been poisoned and the Clan is on the verge of disbanding. Before Hilary and Gene solve the crime, including finding out not only what poison was used, but also how it was administered, the murderer strikes again.

Set against the colorful background of the country music world, Country Music Murders (former title: The Grand Ole Opry Murders) offers a rich view of that exclusive business in addition to the choice crime to be solved.

As a press representative for GRIT, Marvin Kaye attended the Country Music Awards ceremony, where he got much of the background material for this book. Mr. Kaye is the popular author of numerous books, including four other mysteries featuring Hilary Quayle.
