Death at the Gazebo

First in a new cozy mystery series from Minnie Crockwell
Settling into her new condominium on Mirror Pond in Northern Virginia, Sallie Chilcoat, a recent widow, wonders what to do with the rest of her life. She had planned to continue traveling with her military husband, but his early death leaves her at loose ends. Now, she stares out the window at the pond and contemplates learning to kayak...or taking up painting...or climbing Mount Everest.
Movement in the overwater gazebo catches her eye, and she grabs up her people-watching binoculars to see a man sitting inside the gazebo playing an accordion. Curious about the musician who plays such a rare instrument, Sallie trots down to the pier to investigate.
The term "investigate" takes on a whole new meaning when Sallie reaches the gazebo to discover not a happy musician, but a dead body and a missing accordion. Forget climbing Mount Everest! Sallie finds herself immersed in the mystery of the Death at the Gazebo.
