Concert Hall Hit (A Darcy Gaughan Mystery) by J.C. Kenney – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Concert Hall Hit: A Darcy Gaughan Mystery by J.C. Kenney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Concert Hall Hit is Book Two in the Darcy Gaughan Mystery series. It is a cozy murder mystery story that centers around the sudden and mysterious death of legendary British blues guitarist Derek Tuffnell. He had been signing autographs mere hours earlier during a meet and greet at Darcy Gaughan’s record store which makes her the prime suspect in his murder. To clear her name, Darcy takes it upon herself to solve Derek’s murder. As she starts digging into the case and unraveling the clues the list of suspects grows.

This was a brilliantly written cozy murder mystery that will have you trying to solve the mystery alongside our MC Darcy. I loved the small-town setting to the story and all the music references. The storyline was compelling and draws you into the story, and the characters were well developed. Darcy is a character that is lovable and relatable. She is smart, talented, strong, tenacious, and determined. Lacking trust in the local police who seem determined to pin Derek’s murder on her, she takes matters into her own hands to solve the case and find the real killer. The ensuing investigation is full of drama, mystery, suspense, and tension. The twists and turns in this murder mystery will keep you on your toes guessing whodunit. I highly recommend this book.
