Piano of Shadows: A Quillhaven Magical Cozy Mystery (Quillhaven Magical Cozy Mysteries Book 12)
By Tessa Silver
The wrong hands stole its magic. The right hands may set it free.
Former concert pianist Melody Sinclair didn’t come to the magical town of Quillhaven merely to teach piano, she came to heal. With a career-ending wrist injury and a music shop on the edge of Starfall Lake, she’s built a quiet life where no one expects anything from her.
Until a vintage Wurlitzer piano appears on her porch overnight, and everything changes.
No tire tracks. No sender. Just a card that reads: For music lessons.
Leo and Luna, Quillhaven’s ageless Siamese cats, are convinced the instrument holds old magic and dangerous secrets. What’s worse? The piano won’t play for anyone, not even Melody, until grieving widower Sam Foster walks in with his nine-year-old daughter, who has a gift for sensing things others can’t.
As Melody and Sam try to untangle the mystery of the silent piano, she discovers a decades-old wrong that still haunts Quillhaven . . . and finds that healing, like music, sometimes requires a little magic and a whole lot of community.
Perfect for readers who:
Love small-town mysteries with a touch of magic and heart
Enjoy emotionally rich stories about grief, healing, and second chances
Adore quirky communities where everyone shows up when it matters most
Can’t resist mysterious objects with hidden histories and dark secrets
Love gentle romance woven through suspense and personal growth
Enjoy cozy mysteries with whimsical touches—talking cats, found family, and a hint of enchantment
