This is the fourth installment in the Regan Reilly Mysteries.

P.I. Regan Reilly is getting ready for her vacation in the Hamptons' with her parents, Nora and Luke, and best friend, Kit. However, Regan is called at the last minute to become new singing sensation Brigid O'Neill's bodyguard. Brigid has received a fiddle (said to have magic powers and engraved with the initials CT) from Ireland. It seems that if taken out of Ireland, the fiddle will not bring luck but... an accident, and even death.
In the meantime, Chappy Tinka is planning to steal the magic fiddle and replace it with an exact copy. He believes that the CT initials are for his name.

Numerous characters are part of this novel: Duke (Chappy's accomplice), Chappy's wife Bettina and her dog Tootsie, Bettina's live-in guru "Peace Man", Ned the feng shui specialist, Claudia the theatre's architect, Louisa the fact-checker... and the list goes on.
Everyone is important in this book and ultimately will help Regan in solving this mystery.

Carol Higgins Clark's style is getting better with each book, and this one has again, an unexpected ending.
