Publisher's Summary
Fifteen years ago, a murder/suicide in room 712 rocked the grand old Bellweather Hotel and the young bridesmaid who witnessed it. Now hundreds of high school musicians, including quiet bassoonist Rabbit Hatmaker and his brassy diva twin, Alice, have gathered in its cavernous, crumbling halls for the annual Statewide festival; the grown-up bridesmaid has returned to face her demons; and a snowstorm is forecast that will trap everyone on the grounds. Then one of the orchestra’s stars disappears—from room 712. Is it a prank, or has murder struck the Bellweather once again?
The search for answers entwines a hilariously eccentric cast of characters—conductors and caretakers, failures and stars, teenagers on the verge and adults trapped in memories. For everyone has come to the Bellweather with a secret, and everyone is haunted.
Full of knowing nods to the shivery pleasures of suspense and the transporting power of music, this is a wholly winning new novel from a writer lauded as “charming” (Los Angeles Times), “witty” (O, The Oprah Magazine), and “whimsical” (People).

A mystery with heart
I really enjoyed this. The characters are vivid and whole, I loved the murder mystery, but I also loved the general camaraderie between the characters and the various storylines that thread through the book. This is a bit of Agatha Christie, a bit of The Shining, a bit of The Devil Wears Prada and a bit of 'insert name of any teen comedy coming of age story here'! It's a real mish-mash of genres that shouldn't work, but absolutely does, because it is rich and strange and completely loveable. A very unique, feel good story. I read this on audio and the narrator, Jessica Almasy, does a fantastic job with the various voices.
