The Sound of Murder (Musical Murder Mystery Series) by K.L. Montgomery – Review by Erin Wolf

The Sound of Murder by K.L. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really enjoyable book! It involves, murder, musicals, and mayhem. Centered around stage performers that do musicals, this is something completely different than what I’m used to. I have read plenty of cozy mysteries, but this is new to me, and the author pulls it off spectacularly! There is such a fun quality to this book — while plenty mystery to solve too. Authors in this genre too many times forget to have fun with the book and characters, but it has really been captured here. I could not put this book down!

If you are a fan of musicals, this is a must read. I was more interested in the murder mystery end, but growing with friends in the theater, it made me reminisce and smile. Then there is Ruby. Not your perfect, skinny, young confident main character, she is flawed and pretty insecure in the beginning of the book. But she knows theater is her passion and sticks to it. Along the way, she gets more friends and really starts to bloom. The progression was subtle but done so well. Not to mention the mystery part of this story. I was constantly guessing who and why and was still surprised at the big reveal.

A wonderfully written, fun book, this is the beginning of what I hope to be a long -running series. A must read in my opinion.
