The Music Box Mystery

Joanne Pence

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A music box, a murder, and a mystery decades in the making are presented here as a full-cast audiobook.

When gourmet cook Angie Amalfi takes an antique music box to a San Francisco repair shop, she has no idea the seemingly ordinary heirloom will trigger a chain of events that changes her fiancé's life forever.

The music box becomes the first clue in a trail leading back more than forty years—and to a series of murders committed to keep the past buried. As San Francisco Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith investigates, he finds himself drawn into a mystery far more personal than any he's ever faced.

For Paavo has a mystery of his own.

Abandoned as a child and raised without knowing his true identity, he has spent a lifetime wondering who his parents were, what happened to them, and why so many questions about his past have remained unanswered. Now, as Angie and Paavo follow a twisting path through old betrayals, forgotten loyalties, and long-guarded secrets, they discover that the truth is far more heartbreaking—and far more dangerous—than either imagined.

Someone has spent decades protecting those secrets.

Someone is still willing to kill for them.

And the closer Paavo comes to learning who he really is, the closer he comes to becoming the next victim.
For readers of the Inspector Rebecca Mayfield mystery series, this story takes place soon after Rebecca and Angie's cousin Richie meet (in the novella, The Thirteenth Santa). Richie has a minor role in this story.
