Books like Murder, Maestro, Please by Delano Ames


Jane and Dagobert Brown are traveling on a lonely road in the Pyrenees on their way to a music festival when they become the targets of a mysterious sniper. Surviving one hazard, they soon encounter another later that night, when their attractive niece involves them in a complicated romantic wrangle with a rather dubious character. Mystery follows mystery, as Russian spies, stolen bicycles, a child prodigy with a weakness for ice cream, and the maestro himself, a renowned harpsichordist with a disconcerting penchant for liquor, create an awfully complicated vacation for the Browns.

A wonderful story set in a small German occupied Italian village, during World War II. The book is great and the movie made from it is great, as well. but I was glad to have read the book first. Both the book and movie should be on your "bucket list" - it's that good!
