Viola on the Rocks: Little Thornton Sinfonia meets Murder High Seas

Murder on the High Seas: Where Viola Strings Become Weapons The Little Thornton Sinfonia embarks on a dream Caribbean cruise, but the tranquil waters soon turn deadly in Viola on the Rocks, the latest thrilling mystery from crack violist and emerging novelist Jacob Chillingsworth. Still reeling from past adventures, Darius McGuire is getting accustomed to the brilliant, if sometimes infuriating, Aaron Quest as the new principal viola. But harmony quickly shatters when Mrs. Aloisa Finch, a member of the Northern England Viola Teachers Association, is found brutally murdered-strangled with viola strings. Halfway to Barbados, with six days of open ocean and eight days back to England, the ship's captain makes a fateful decision: continue the journey. But the killer isn't finished. The very next day, Mr. Johann Schimmel, another viola teacher, is found dead. Suspicion immediately falls on Aaron Quest, who had a history with both victims. Confined to quarters, Aaron's innocence seems unlikely, and Darius finds himself thrust into the principal violist's chair for the nightly concerts. Just when Darius thinks he has a handle on the situation, a third viola teacher, Signora Salieri, is murdered while Aaron is under lock and key! With the authorities in Barbados still days away, Darius must race against time to: - Unravel the complex web of motives among the eccentric viola teachers.- Prove his friend Aaron's innocence amidst damning evidence.- Catch a cunning killer before another life is lost. Is it a disgruntled student, a jealous colleague, or something far more sinister? Join Darius on a suspenseful voyage where every note could be a clue and every passenger a suspect. If you love cozy mysteries with a classical music twist, intricate plots, and unexpected turns, then Viola on the Rocks is your next must-read! A stunning sequel to Violas Are No Joke and My Bloody Viola. Prepare for a crescendo of suspense!
