Overview
The Mandolin Mystery is the thirteenth book in The Mysteries of Blackberry Valley fiction series.
After a decades-long hiatus, Blackberry Valley's bluegrass festival is making a comeback. The community is excited to renew a long-standing tradition that previously came to a bitter end. The founding musical duo split up after an heirloom mandolin vanished along with the proceeds from the celebration. Hannah Prentiss can't wait to join in the festivities and reconnect with her childhood friend, musician Monroe Taylor.
But when Hannah and Monroe discover a damaged mandolin in a crate of instruments loaned to the library, they are astonished to discover that this is the missing mandolin that belongs to Monroe's grandfather.
Who took the mandolin all those years ago, and how did it end up in that crate? And where's the stolen money? Hannah fears her efforts to find the truth may do more harm than good…unless she can bring a closing note to the past.
