From the Back Cover

There's dreadful news from the symphony hall—the composer is dead!

If you have ever heard an orchestra play, then you know that musicians are most certainly guilty of something. Where exactly were the violins on the night in question? Did anyone see the harp? Is the trumpet protesting a bit too boisterously?

In this perplexing murder mystery, everyone seems to have a motive, everyone has an alibi, and nearly everyone is a musical instrument. But the composer is still dead.

Perhaps you can solve the crime yourself. Join the Inspector as he interrogates all the unusual suspects. Then listen to the accompanying audio recording featuring Lemony Snicket and the music of Nathaniel Stookey performed by the San Francisco Symphony. Hear for yourself exactly what took place on that fateful, well-orchestrated evening.

This book is a perfect addition to learning about the instruments and sections of the orchestra. It is ideal for 9 years up. The recording on the CD is the story read by the author accompanied by a brilliant orchestral score. The music gives an idea of the 'characters' of the instruments along with their role in the orchestra. A nice alternative to Britten's 'Young Persons Guide' as well. Inspirational!

This is absolutely fantastic!

A beautifully illustrated book and a fully orchestrated and narrated CD in one.

Written in typical Lemony Snicket style, a word here which means with lots of unusual definitions of words.

The best way I can sum up this book would be to say that it is what happens when A Series of Unfortunate Events meets Peter and the Wolf.

If you or your children enjoyed his previous books you will love this.

Get it!
