Synopsis

Can a man and a ghost be soulmates? When young music teacher Andre Beaufort unleashed the ghost of dapper Roaring Twenties playboy Freddy Birtwistle from his antique player piano, he never imagined they would fall in love and solve two murder mysteries. Now Freddy yearns to visit his family’s beach house in Florida. So, Andre and Freddy embark on a vacation to the stunning home which has become a bed and breakfast. Before Freddy can say “zotched,” a young, mysterious houseboy is murdered, the second hunky houseboy to meet the same fate. Will Andre and Freddy find the murderer to save the inn—and themselves?

A year later, Andre and Freddy venture off on a vacation with Andre’s uncle, an ex-priest, to Tuscany, staying at an inn that happens to have once been Freddy’s old family villa. Before the sun sets golden on the hills, a handsome young guest is murdered. Will Andre and Freddy uncover the secrets of Freddy’s ancestral home, solve the mystery, and find eternal love? 

The Player’s Encore, the the second installment in the popular Player Piano Mysteries series by Joe Cosentino includes two cozy mysteries: The Beach House and The Villa.

Cat gives this one 5 Meows...

I loved this series and the fact we get two little nuggets instead of one long story. I think this kind of breaks up any monotony and instead gives us two different stories. Stories that wind up involving Andre in mystery and tell us more about Freddy.

Each story is fast-paced, fun, rich with unique characters and we still get Freddy and Andre's love.

I highly recommend this book!
