A Murder, she wrote mystery ... based on the Universal television series.

This murder mystery starts with an autopsy. Three doctors and two detectives are shocked by what they find. The victim was the conductor of a symphony orchestra. A criminal profiler says the murderer was probably a member of the orchestra. Was it the principal trumpet player? Was it the violinist who disappeared shortly after the murder? The use of a confidential informant embedded in the orchestra assists the criminal investigation. We are taken on a wild ride through rehearsals, after rehearsal drinking sessions, concerts, and even a tour to Mexico by the orchestra. Besides being entertained, be prepared to learn about rehearsal etiquette, aesthetics, the ins and outs of a criminal investigation, and even the history and customs of Mexico.
