"While children could read this book (especially the kids that loved the Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate... books) it also includes content directed more to adults.
If you have a child or an adult in your life that is involved in music - this is THE gift!
The Composer has been murdered!!!The investigator has been called in. In the course of the investigation the detective runs through the various instruments in the orchestra in a thoroughly charming manner. Extolling the virtues of each and the reasons why they couldn't possibly have been the culprit!
So - the verdict? Charming with some humor directed at the adults...I gave it as a Birthday gift to a 66 year old Diva who LOVED IT!"
"When the Composer is found dead, the Inspector interrogates the members of the orchestra, from the strings to the brass. They all maintain their innocence, and each has a comical alibi; the violins, for example, proclaim they would never have murdered the Composer, for if they had, they "would have to find work at square dances or in romantic restaurants." Ellis' pen-and-watercolor illustrations lend an old-fashioned feel. Darkly humorous in the vein of Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events series, this clever picture book is a hilarious tribute to the orchestra. While much of the humor will go over the heads of younger readers, it is a perfect read-aloud for upper elementary through high school music and band teachers. Even the most sophisticated musicians will find it a rollicking good read."
