A cozy mystery set at an Elvis concert in the early 1950s. This is book number five in a series, however it can be enjoyed as a stand alone. 

A photo journalist, named Orlando Belmonte, is found dead on stage at the end of an Elvis concert. Rosa Reed is a private investigator and former police officer at a time in history when women were not prominent in that industry. She’s a take charge personality and good at her job. Rosa is hired by her cop ex boyfriend to investigate the death of the photographer. Will Rosa be able to solve this mystery while working side by side with her ex? 

This was a quick cozy mystery. I enjoyed the throw back setting of the 1950s and nods to early rock n roll.
