"Barbara Reed’s High Notes Are Murder features a
heroine as smart and likable as any in crime fiction
today. Singer Liz Hanlon’s voice remains strong and
pure throughout this refreshing debut novel."
-Martin J. Smith,
author, Time Release, Shadow Image, and Straw Men
“Barbara Reed delivers a double treat with High Notes Are Murder and its companion CD: a fine mystery and musical accompaniment to die for.
Heroine Liz Hanlon is smart, big-hearted and talented—an up-and coming jazz singer, pianist
and composer whose career looks bright until a scandal from the past threatens to destroy
her and anyone else who stands too close. Reed provides a witty, fascinating insider’s
look at an LA music scene that is weirder and scarier than most fans will ever know.

-- An exhilarating blend of contemporary jazz, spicy Latin and provocative ballads --
