While My Guitar Gently Weeps

"As both a professional touring rock'n'roller and a die-hard fan of the mystery genre - especially when presented in unusual and unpredictable formats... I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Grabien's authentic look at the backstage world of big rock shows, and her successful weaving of a murder mystery into that world. Grabien has an uncanny knack for dialogue and relationships, making the story and characters extremely engaging and believable. The JP Kinkaid Chronicles are a breath of fresh air in the mystery novel genre, and a rockin' good read."

"In the second entry in the JP Kinkaid mystery series (after last year’s Rock and Roll Never Forgets), JP has just come off a tour with his decades-old, enormously successful rock group, Blacklight. As a favor to his friends in the band the Bombardiers, he has agreed to sit in as guitarist while they break in their new lead singer, Vinny Fabiano. Unfortunately, Vinny proves to be something of a prima donna, with pricey gear, “a bad hairpiece, and a huge sodding ego.” Nonetheless, the members of the group are shocked when Vinny is found dead in the studio, his head bashed in with a flaming red, custom-made guitar. Despite the hassles of dealing with the investigation of the murder and flare-ups from his multiple sclerosis, JP determines it’s the perfect time to wed his longtime love, Bree Godwin. Indeed, their emotional romance and the characters’ obvious love of music widen the scope of this novel. From spirited discussions of blues-based rock to inspired moments of band camaraderie, this is definitely a mystery that will also appeal to rock fans."
