A fun read for any reader of fiction. Talented author Aaron Paul Lazar continues the great series on Gus LeGarde and the people in his life. Mystery and romance bearing the faint tint of cooking onions and warm laughter will draw you into a tale you'll hate to see end.
A fire brings trouble to a Korean girl named Lida and romance to Seigfried, Gus's large brother-in-law. As the girl recuperates in Gus' home, secrets from her past are unearthed and they look to Gus for help.
As Gus is involved in their problems, he also becomes involved in the life of a senile senior at a nursing home and a double mystery unfolds. Patients with memory problems like Alzheimers enjoy music and one man who is called the Music Man is especially drawn to Gus when he plays accompaniment to hymns one Sunday afternoon. The Music Man has no memory of his past and has been in the system since the 1940s, according to a nurse who befriends Gus.
In his lucid moments The Music Man speaks of a woman and Gus, who loves to solve puzzles, begins a search for the key to unlock the man's past. What will he find? Will he find anything at all or is the Music Man's past gone forever? And what is the second mystery involving the nursing home?
For a great fun read, I'm pleased to recommend Lady Blues to any mystery fan or romantic or anyone just looking for a good book with characters you long remember. Mr. Lazar invites us into a world of warmth and happy people who you will be glad to call friends and wish you could live among them.
Enjoy. I certainly did.
