Published: July 21, 2025

Genre: Cozy Mystery, Cozy Animal Mystery


Blurb:



A dead country legend, a missing Yorkie, and a honky-tonk hiding secrets.


PI Hattie Leiper figured her new Nashville office above the country bar 
The Crooked Note came with bar brawls and barking dogs, not collapsing country stars and rhinestone collars streaked with blood.

When living legend Ruby Dean drops dead mid-performance and her famous Yorkie turns up in Hattie’s officelooking guilty as sin, the mystery hits too close to home.

Alongside her grumpy Chow Moose, and crime-magnet British Shorthair, Cecil, Hattie questions a jealous ex, sketchy songwriters, and a psychic who swears she saw it all coming.

With gossip swirling and her bestie, retired vet Gracie, caught in the crosshairs, Hattie’s chasing clues through concerts and recording studios.

She must crack the case before time runs out and another note turns deadly.


Murder, Music & Mischief is a Southern-fried cozy mystery filled with sass and a sleuth who knows how to keep her boots on the ground, even when the stage lights dim.

My Review:

The first book in Greta Sinclair’s new series, Murder, Music & Mischief, is a fantastic start. It begins with a music festival where the legendary Ruby Dean collapses and dies while performing on stage. Her sweet Yorkie, Mini Pearl, who was always by her side, has gone missing.

Hattie, along with her grumpy Chow, Moose, and the crime-loving British Shorthair, Cecil, sets out to find Mini Pearl and uncover Ruby Dean’s killer before it’s too late. When Mini Pearl is found, she’s very scared and has blood on her rhinestone collar. What happened to Mini Pearl? Why is there blood on her collar?
The story unfolds with many twists and turns that kept me guessing and eager to discover who killed Ruby Dean and what happened to Mini Pearl during her disappearance.

This is a great beginning to a promising new series. I can’t wait to see what mysteries Hattie, Moose, and Cecil will uncover in the next book.

I highly recommend Murder, Music & Mischief to everyone! Pick up a copy today and meet Hattie, Moose, Cecil, and Mini Pearl!
