Renata Radleigh is a mezzo-soprano visiting St. Louis to sing in an avant-garde production of Carmen. She got the job based on her connection with her brother, the development director for the opera company. Don and Renata aren't really close, there is plenty of simmering sibling tension but when Don is accused of murdering a big donor, Renata brings out her inner sleuth and starts trying to clear his name. I loved this layered mystery that introduces us to interesting characters and builds suspense until the very end. Renata is very much an amateur here but I look forward to seeing her in the next book in the series.
