This is another of the Madoc Rhys mysteries by Charlotte MacLeod writing as Alisa Craig. Madoc father, a world famous conductor, is performing nearby and asks Madoc to join him. When he arrives, Madoc's mother and father convince him that there is something going on in the orchestra, and he is needed to find out what is wrong, and then to fix it.
Madoc ends up joining his parents, and several members of the orchestra, on a private plane that is heading to their next performance venue. Unfortunately, the plane has some mechanical problems and has to make a forced landing in the wilds of Canada. Luckily, they land safely, and are near a tourist attraction that includes a hotel that is closed for the season. They break in, and are relatively safe while waiting to be rescued, until they find out that one of the orchestra members who had gotten sick and died just before they left on the plane was, in fact, murdered.
Madoc is not only investigating his parent's problem, he is looking for the murderer, trying to keep the rest of the orchestra safe, and trying to keep the hopelessly incompetent members of the orchestra fed.
I really enjoyed this, especially the interactions between Madoc, his father, and his mother.
This is a book for my Read it Again, Sam challenge.
