"The book is terrific, like the other two in the series."
Arthur Makar
"Erica, you make an amazing point... "Opera stories are among the most violent ever written.." Of course, that adds to the perfection of your blend of murder mysteries within the opera world."
Pamela Meyer, author
"No one knows the realm of the opera house and the tangled, complex lives of its inhabitants better than Erica Miner. When the Teutonic Gods clash and fight and murder takes the stage during the latest production of Wagner at the San Francisco Opera, violinist and amateur sleuth, Julia Kogan, insists that a “Dreadful reckoning shall follow this wrong!”
In Overture to Murder, the third novel in Erica Miner’s superb detective series, the suspense never lags, the energy never falters, and the danger to Julia and her family never stops until the final page. A must read that will have you panting for a fourth installment."
Howard Jay Smith, novelist
"This is a very good read. Erica Miner continues to hone her murder mystery writing skills. If you like Opera, and enjoy a good mystery, this book is for you. The location is San Francisco. I lived there for more than a decade, and Erica makes very good use of the location, both the opera house and the city. A new character is introduced, Julia’s child. The mystery is a good one, the drama develops like a Wagner Opera, and the action builds to a dramatic climax. Brava Erica!!!"
