*Murder Goes Flying* Piper Haydn book #4

.99 for a limited time

She'd rather conduct a symphony than investigate sabotage. But when family loyalty takes flight, can she ground a killer before they strike again?

Piper Haydn prefers her drama on the concert stage, not in real life. The refined music academy owner has sworn off mysteries after one too many deadly encounters in her charming Wisconsin town. But when her reckless brother buys a vintage warplane and invites their cousins to make it airworthy, her worries reach a dangerous pitch.

When the test flight ends in disaster and evidence points to deliberate sabotage, Piper's carefully ordered world shatters. Now she must dust off her sleuthing skills to protect her family—even if that means confronting secrets she never wanted to uncover.

With federal agents circling, family members acting suspiciously, and a high-stakes aviation contest worth killing for, Piper fears her amateur investigation could lead to a fatal finale.

Can Piper uncover the truth before the real killer vanishes into the wild blue yonder?

Murder Goes Flying is the fourth book in the Piper Haydn Piano Mysteries cozy mystery series. If you like small-town charm, aviation intrigue, and heartwarming friendships, then you'll love Malissa Chapin's high-flying whodunit.
