As the Musician whistles in the night and the locals gather at Bo Peep’s for a drink, a man is murdered and his female friend goes missing. Many think that there is more to Luke’s death, and that Stony has been kidnapped and is in danger due to her knowledge of a treasure. Morgana Musgrove is a private detective hired to uncover the truth by Archibald Guzman, the man being held responsible for the fire that the authorities think led to Luke’s death. She is not the only one investigating this fire; her son and her granddaughter, friends of Luke and Stony, are determined to find the truth as well, and maybe uncover the truth about the treasure while they are at it.
I really liked this story. It is a great mystery that kept me at the edge of my seat right from the start. There are a lot of characters with a lot of connections to each other, but they are all so well developed and none of them seemed to get lost in the shuffle of the story. Jaq and Ransom are easily my favorites, with their strength and drive, although Morgana had some great, and in one instance truly touching, moments within the novel. I also liked how the story jumped between the different characters, following their movements and activities, because it allowed me to not only get to know the major players well, but it also created some great suspense throughout the story. The treasure that is at the center of the story is, in my opinion, an interesting and powerful treasure.
