'Ironing for a corpse wasn't Joan Spencer's idea of fun.' Joan, a fortyish widow, prefers playing viola in the community symphony in small-town Oliver, Indiana. But when the first oboist suddenly drops dead during his solo in Schubert's Great C Major Symphony and a flautist's throat is slashed, Joan finds murder falling in her lap. Although she's new in town, she helps Oliver policeman Fred Lundquist dig out clues to the murders.
