A Taste of Murder (Murder in D Minor Trilogy)

Who murdered a small-town beauty-pageant judge-in a very strange way?

Jasmine Delaney and her musician friends were hired to play classical music for a wedding. They've played for some picky bridezillas before, but who ever heard of getting married during a Bar-B-Q festival? Still, the money's good and the food promises to be fabulous. Until they find a body in the bathtub of their hotel room.

The man's murder leaves the Little Princess Pageant one judge short, and before she realizes what's happening, Jazzy is roped into the role. Suddenly she's surrounded by pint-size contestants whose competitive parents will do anything to ensure their child gets the crown. Even kill a judge?

The bride's handsome brother fears Jazzy might be the killer's next target. Derrick promises to stay close and keep an eye out for trouble. But someone is already watching Jazzy's every move. Someone who's had a taste of murder. And is hungry for more.
