This one was a bit different, Fenella and Daniel are going on a two week tour following an orchestra. The hostess of the tour, Olive Rose, has done similar and successful tours in the US and Europe, but this one in the UK only had two additional members, Lily and Bert. On the first stop of the tour in Chester, one of the viola players is found stabbed to death, Daniel and Fenella help solve the murder.
I liked that this moved the setting to another locale, bringing in new characters and a different sort of investigation, since they were out of Daniel's jurisdiction. Although I missed Mona's unique additions to the investigating, she did put in an appearance or two while Fenella was at home. The only quibble I have is the ending felt very rushed and mostly happened "off-screen" so to say, as the story was wrapped up almost like an afterthought and Fenella explained it in the last chapter. And that didn't diminish my enjoyment of the book, but it wasn't as satisfying as it could've been.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read for a chilly evening and it was nice to escape into.
