When a symphony musician is murdered—bashed with her own bassoon—flute player Emily Wilson becomes the prime suspect. To save herself and secure justice for her murdered friend, she must find the killer.

In the close-knit, unforgiving environment of the symphony orchestra Emily makes her way through the tender egos and warped relationships of her fellow musicians to find tantalizing clues. Blackmail, the victim’s abusive ex-boyfriend, an angry neighbor, and a shifty Symphony Board member all lead her to feel she is on the right track.

With the dogged Lieutenant Gordon on her trail, she must flee from the police so she can continue her search. She unexpectedly finds a loyal female friend and the possibility of a new man in her life. But she must learn to trust again after her failed and abusive marriage. With time running out, will she be able to evade the lieutenant, face her personal demons, and clear her name?

The Blind Switch (+ Giveaway)

It’s a pleasure to be a part of the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tour for author Lyn Farrell’s THE BLIND SWITCH, the first installment in her Rosedale Investigations Mystery series.

The Blind Switch
By Lyn Farrell

Cozy Mystery
1st in Series: A Rosedale Investigations Mystery
Publisher: Camel Press (January 12, 2021)
Paperback: 230 pages
ISBN-10: 1603816968
ISBN-13: 978-1603816960
Digital ASIN: B08QBH2BHH

The first book in the Rosedale Investigations series finds Wayne Nichols, our doggedly determined Detective, and his sassy and irreverent partner, Dory Clarkson, starting new jobs as private investigators. Their first client, Cara Summerfield, comes with what appears to be a missing person's case.

Cara got pregnant in high school and baby Danny was adopted. Her husband, Grant, an up-and-coming politician has never been told about the pregnancy. Their only clue is an unreadable return address on a letter sent to Cara from Danny's girlfriend. Danny is now a racehorse trainer and has been assaulted for non-payment of gambling debts.

Cara charges Rosedale Investigations to find Danny and keep his existence completely confidential. When Danny is found, he's in the ICU and not expected to live. When he passes away, it appears to the pathologist to be natural causes, but Detective Nichols doesn't buy it. It looks like murder to him.


THE BLIND SWITCH
is available for purchase at Amazon - B&N - Kobo
