liners fill that bill pretty well, too. And opinions? She's
loaded with them! And why not? She's experienced
every musical situation imaginable, from low-paying
piano-dump gigs in High Notes Are Murder to the star-
studded night of her first CD release party in
Harmonic Deception . . . until tonight, when a
deranged teenage girl she's never met crashes the
party. Within minutes, one man is dead, another
stabbed, two hundred patrons are held hostage, and
the full impact of the girl's rage becomes clear, letting
Liz know that this crime--this intrusion into what she
sees as the magical culmination of her life's work--is
personal.
No matter what the risks, she will find this killer.

Harmonic Deception
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book Club Entertainment, February 5, 2012 by
Kentucky Lady
"I had the pleasure of meeting Barbara Reed this year.
She is a talented and classy lady. Much like her character Liz Hanlon.
Two of my passions are music and reading. Barbara brings both of those
passions to life. She is a great musician and author.
Harmonic Deception has a dramatic opening in chapter one and keeps
that exciting pace throughout the book. Once you are drawn into the
drama, you do not want to put the book down. Read More
