Blurb:
Retirement is just weeks away when Adri Foster finds a corpse in her bandroom.
Assistant Principal Reed—sharp-tongued, sexist, and a dreadful coach—never makes it to the faculty meeting.
When his death turns from suspicious to murder, the police zero in on the school’s janitor. But Adri knows he didn’t do it.
With her final concert looming and whispers swirling through Seven Springs, sleuthing again pulls Adri back into the fray.
A grudge-holding bus driver and a fiery parent rise to the top of the suspect list—but when her colleague Fred Diaz lands in the crosshairs, Adri won’t stay on the sidelines.
With her trombone in tow and coffee cooling...Adri gets help from her spirited spinning circle, the Saturday Spinners, and her loyal Border Collie, Snooper.
She follows a trail of clues from church bean suppers to the Corner Café.
If she can’t untangle the truth in time, a beloved teacher’s future could be the next to fall.
My Review:
Body in the Bandroom is the second installment and an excellent follow-up in Etta True’s Adri Foster Cozy Mystery series. Similar to the first book, Body in the Bushes, this sequel kicks off with a dramatic event. Winslow Reed, the principal and coach of the local middle school girls' basketball team, has met an untimely demise. Adri discovers his body in the bandroom where she teaches.
The probe into Mr. Reed’s passing reveals several potential suspects who might have had motives against him. However, when one of the teachers, Fred Diaz, becomes a person of interest, Adri takes it upon herself to uncover the truth, convinced that the teacher is innocent.
From the very first page, I was on the edge of my seat, with numerous plot twists propelling me towards the conclusion to learn the fate of Mr. Reed. I was eager to uncover who was responsible and their reasoning. Was it a mere accident, or was there something more nefarious at play?
Body in the Bandroom is an enthralling tale that captivated me from start to finish. I am excited to delve into more of the Adri Foster Cozy Mystery series to discover the next crime Adri encounters.
I wholeheartedly recommend Body in the Bandroom to all enthusiasts of cozy mysteries! Make sure to pick up your copy of Body in the Bandroom today for another intriguing mystery to unravel!
