Story:
The places – the scene takes place in Barcelona. At the time of the concert, the Barston Symphony Orchestra is in the theatre.
Penny Wade is a musician. She travels to Barcelona to perform in a concert with her orchestra. But the trip is not quite what she imagined. He double base goes missing and her boyfriend is acting very strangely. One night everyone is woken by screams and the orchestra manager is found dead on the street outside their hotel. Did he fall from the hotel window or was he pushed? And what has Penny’s missing double base got to do with it?
My Opinion:
I chose this book because the type is ‘murder mystery’ and because it is the story of an orchestra and I like music.

The double bass mystery: I don't really like music but I enjoyed the book because it's a murder mystery and there is not lot of difficult vocabulary. The story is simple and it's easy to read.
