Last Note For A Lovely by Carter Brown

She was a thrush with a throaty voice. Carl Vesper, jazz critic of the magazine Offbeat, stumbles across her body and later she makes an appearance on stage. So who is more surprised, her murdered or Carl?  Then Carl gets news from the Police that Toots Yabach was killed in a car accident. Carl had his hands full with a corpse that was killed twice. Last Note For A Lovely was published in 1957 by Horwitz Publications.
