Murder rearranges the Yuletide carols into unexpected eulogies... The O’Sullivans are spending Christmas in West Cork with brother James’s fiancée Elise’s family, including her grandfather, the famous orchestral conductor Enda Elliot. When they learn everyone will choose a name from a hat to buy a music-related Christmas gift for someone else at the gathering, it seems like their greatest concern–until the cantankerous conductor is discovered crushed under a ninety-pound harp in a local concert hall. With the extended family–including Enda’s much-younger new wife Leah, a virtuoso violinist–suspected in his murder, it’s up to Siobhán to ensure the guilty party faces the music. But as a snowstorm strands both families in a lavish farmhouse on a cliff, Siobhán had better pick up the tempo–before the killer orchestrates another untimely demise... A charming Christmas cosy mystery, perfect for fans of Margaret Mayhew and Dee Macdonald.

A worthy installment in the series, full of holiday cheer (and murderous drama!). I loved some of the jokes, and the mystery itself was intriguing–I called part of it midway through, but still was very curious about the rest!
