An Aria of Omens (Wisteria Tearoom Mysteries)

A cop at the opera... Wisteria Tearoom owner Ellen Rosings coaxes Detective Tony Aragón to go with her to the Santa Fe Opera, but the magnificent performance of Tosca ends in disaster. In bizarre counterpoint to the opera’s plot, the leading man is murdered in his dressing room, and Tony must rush to secure the crime scene. Ellen is left to comfort Vi Benning, a former server at the tearoom who is now an apprentice at the Opera and a protégée of the slain singer. No opera aficionado, Tony turns to Ellen for help navigating the world in which he must now conduct an investigation. At the same time, Ellen is coping with a sudden, mysterious jump in business at the tearoom. Her problems are eclectic: ...Who killed the famous baritone? ...What do the antique letters she’s found have to do with the tearoom’s resident ghost? ...And will she and Tony ever find time for a normal date? This cozy mystery is the third in the Wisteria Tearoom Mysteries series.
