Synopsis (Goodreads):

Jayne Frost and husband Sinclair Crowe are off on another adventure, this time to Nashville, aka Music City, to pay a royal visit to one of the Santa’s Workshops toy stores. Once that’s done, they’ll have a little time to sightsee and play tourist.

Which they do. Until something rather peculiar happens in the Country Music Hall of Fame that leaves Sinclair feeling all shook up.

Suddenly, they have a new mystery to solve. And time is ticking for Sinclair. Even a necromancer can only take so much.

Can Jayne and Sinclair get to the bottom of things before it’s too late?

Thoughts on Mystified in Music City: Taking place a couple of months after the holiday events in Nocturne Falls, Jayne and Sinclair are now making a visit to Nashville. While they're technically there to visit the toy store and spread some goodwill, Sinclair's DELIGHTED to be spending time indulging in his love of all things Elvis (which is slightly less than his love of all things Jayne, but STILL).

As you might expect, things don't go exactly as the happy couple planned. Mostly because a restless spirit needs a little help figuring out who ended him. Seeing as how said spirit remembers very little of his last moments, Jayne and Sin have to work to piece together what happened and figure out who the guilty individual might be.

A little country music love (on Sin's part), a whole lot of food enjoyment (on Jayne's part), more than a few suspicious folks, some deep diving, some intuitive leaps, and a whole lot of Elvis impersonating. It's always fun spending time solving crime with Jayne and Sin!
