Soundtrack For A Murder In Maine

In this debut of a new mystery short story series Cary Street decides to take a break from suffocating life in New York City to visit a friend in Millinocket a small town tucked in the mountains of Maine. Life is going nowhere fast and maybe a trip to where life is slow and easy might inspire change. While there some old friends come up to record their new album a last ditch effort to revive a dying career.What unravels is a train wreck of lies secrets money anger and eventually a loaded gun to permanently fix things. Even the magic of rock'n'roll can't stop the rushing snowball. When things get worse one drunken night life stops making sense. When a reunion turns into a nightmare Cary finds himself as the private investigator to the rock stars.Author Aaron Joy is an upright bassist and former music blogger in Maine. He's played with the Brooklyn blues-trio Tired Wings and Maine alt-country group Willy Martin & The Woods. This is his attempt to write a realistic story based on musicians he knew facing real world problems versus so many stories where every musician is a glamorous millionaire lapping up acclaim. Sometimes some just want to play the drums get paid and be offered something other than donuts and a gun as compensation.
