Counterpoint follows the journey of Allegra Brewster, a talented cellist who is also the assistant manager of the Kennimac SummerFest Symphony. Her life appears to be returning to a level of stability after experiencing tragedies during the previous spring. Unfortunately, her tranquility soon is disrupted when a colleague hastily leaves, her ex-boyfriend bothers her with unrealistic expectations, and worst of all, a shocking new death shakes the town. Law enforcement rules the death a suicide, but Allie has other assumptions. Her intuition won't let this issue rest. The deeper she probes, the more she realizes that there is something amiss. Something (or perhaps, someone) extremely sinister is at work behind the scenes. What starts as speculation on her part ultimately transforms into deep resolve. Allie's not about to let the truth stay buried forever.
With a playlist to accompany the story, COUNTERPOINT immerses you in the world of a summer orchestra, its musicians and supporters, and the small town they inhabit. Filled with music references and complex relationships, this page-turner will keep you guessing until the very end. Take this unforgettable journey into the heart of a gripping murder mystery.
