Mysteries & Thrillers Depicting Music and Musicians
Ever since I watched Netflix’s The Perfection about a music prodigy reconnecting with her former mentor, I’ve been eager to pick up a book with the same twisty and dark undertones. There’s something so eerie about combining a beautiful art form—music—with a horrific crime or a story thats core is based on mystery and danger. Luckily, these types of books do exist. Maybe not as readily as their movie counterparts, but we’ll take what we can get. Here are five top-rated thrillers centered around music, musicians, and mystery.

Delilah Winter is one of the hottest pop stars on the planet, so how in the world was she kidnapped right in the middle of a show at the famous Hollywood Bowl?

She agrees to lead the race to rescue the young singer before time runs out.
Joined by Jessie Mercado, the singer's former bodyguard and a military hero, Kendra closes in on the hideout location but not before casualties mount up. Desperate for leads, Kendra must set aside her personal feelings when agent-for-hire Adam Lynch also volunteers his special skills to aid in the search.
But as the abductor's true purpose becomes clear, the trio uncover a plot they never could have imagined—leading to a showdown they won't soon forget.
