There are a lot of people who would not mind seeing Dave Rollins disappear. He really was a womanizer. Fortunately for him he was also the Maestro and friend of Mad Max. Even with his checkered past (which very few knew about) and present-his ability to write and play music was extraordinary! So who would want him dead? Mad Max was beside himself when Dave went missing the day after his retirement party and called on Georgie Shaw and her new husband Detective Jack Wheeler to figure it out--STAT.
They found him alright--dead, lying on the rocks below his mansion--his house vandalized and trashed!! It took a lot of interviewing and searching to finally get to the bottom of this one. You will be surprised at who did it and why. There were a lot of twists and turns which will throw you for a loop!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Marvelous Marley World’s legendary maestro is murdered.
In good spirits at a gala marking his retirement, Dave Rollins disappears later that night. His beautiful home overlooking the Pacific Ocean is trashed—not just searched, but vandalized, too. The maestro’s old friend and boss, Max Marley, wants answers!
At the crack of dawn, Max calls Georgie Shaw and Detective Jack Wheeler distraught, demanding that they help solve the mystery of the missing maestro. When Dave Rollins’ body is found on the rocks below his Malibu cliffside estate, Georgie and Jack are pulled into another whodunit.
Who killed Dave Rollins? Did a secret from the maestro's youth catch up with him decades later? Or did a scorned woman, a jealous rival, a disturbed fan or someone else murder the maestro?
Grab your copy and join Georgie and Jack as they solve the mysterious Murder of the Maestro in book 6 of the Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery series by USA Today bestselling author, Anna Celeste Burke.

Life is an extravaganza! figuring out how to hang tough and make the most of the wild ride is the challenge.
On my way to Oahu to join the rock musician and high school drop-out I had met in San Diego and married in Tijuana, I was nabbed by the police as a runaway. When the police let me go and the rock band broke up, my husband and I had to find another way to survive. Our next stop: Disney World where we trained to be chefs, courtesy of the Walt Disney World University. A GED for my husband and many more years of education landed us in academia at The Ohio State University. Retired now from my role as a professor in social work and behavioral science, I have picked up a long-time interest in writing fiction. I'm still married to the same sweet guy and live with him in the Palm Springs area. In addition to reading and writing fiction, I enjoy painting, hiking, hanging out with my handsome husband and tending to my Siamese kitties.
An award-winning and bestselling author I enjoy snooping into life's mysteries with fun, fiction, & food—California style! My books include the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery series set in the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs, the Corsario Cove Cozy Mystery series set on California’s Central Coast, and The Georgie Shaw Cozy Mystery series set in Orange County, California--the OC. Coming soon: The Misadventures of Betsy Stark also set here in the Coachella Valley. Find out more at http://www.desertcitiesmystery.com

I would love to Read A Dead Sister in the Jessica Huntington Desert Cities Mystery series. I have the Georgie Shaw series and have read a few of the Corsario Cove Mysteries. I enjoy most audio books.
I'm interested in reading the Corsario Cove Cozy Mystery Series! I don't listen to audio books, since I don't have a Reader :)
Haven't tried to listen to audio books yet, but it's interesting. I like any mystery series or sci fi
The book I would like to read is Love Notes in the Key of Sea. Murder of the Maestro sounds like a great read. The house being trashed seems to obvious. I would go with someone he passed over on the way up the ladder. I do not, as of now, listen to audio books, although, six months ago I did not read e-books and now I read them often.
To be honest, I love all of Anna's books! She was the first author that I began following on Facebook! The first author giveaway was " Cowabunga Christmas," and I loved it! Also, I confided in Anna about my wishes to become an author, and she encouraged me to pursue my dream! I haven't done so yet, but hopefully someday! The other day I purchased all of the "Georgie Shaw Mysteries," and when I let Anna know they were all for sale on Amazon, she invited me to be an ARC Angel! I'm sorry to go on like this, but I really like Anna! I do not particularly like Audio books.
Georgie Shaw, yes
The book:A Merry Christmas Wedding Mystery,I like The Cozy Mystery Series.
I have not tried the audio books yet, but hope to. :)
I've read and loved all of Anna Celeste Burke's series and am really looking forward to reading The Dead Cousin. I've never listened to an audiobook.

They all sound like pretty good cozy mystery series, but I think I would start with the Cosario Cove series. As for audiobooks, I sometimes use them (mainly when I can't seem to find the book in another format) but really prefer print, since I read much faster than the spoken word. It is rather handy when I want to do some handwork while 'reading' a book though.
