Synopsis

It ain’t over till the fat lady sings…but the show hasn’t even started yet when a diva is found dead. The soprano in question, a petite young Asian Canadian named Charise Lee, was scarcely a star at the Washington National Opera. But when the aspiring singer is stabbed in the heart backstage during rehearsals, she suddenly takes center stage.Georgetown law professor Mac Smith thought he’d just be carrying a rapier in Tosca as a favor to his beloved Annabel, but now they’re both being pressured by the panicked theater board to unmask a killer. Providing accompaniment will be former homicide detective, current P.I., and eternal opera fan Raymond Pawkins.Soon the Smiths find themselves dangerously improvising among an expanding cast of suspects with all sorts of scores to settle. What they uncover is an increasingly complex case reaching far beyond Washington to a dark world of informers and terror alerts in Iraq, and climaxing on a fateful night at the opera attended by none other than the President himself.

Goodreads review by TheEJHeider

This book started promising, like any other book in the world. We follow plenty of people in the story. A couple who were former defense attorneys, a retired detective, a talent manager, two active-duty detectives and an intelligence officer. A lot of characters to keep up with but the author did a......more
