​Mariachi Meddler

An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 1

A troubled woman, a guilty conscience, and a mariachi band turn Andy into a meddling mariachi player!


Andy Veracruz is the leader of a mariachi band in Southern California, but when his boss goes out of town, the restaurant where Andy performs turns to chaos. Andy tries to avoid the boss’s flirtatious wife, but when Yiolanda is accused of murder, Andy isn’t sure whether to help her or to run the other way. The more Andy learns, the more trouble he gets himself into. He's a sleuth only by accident! He would much rather spend afternoons working on new songs instead of following leads or trying to decipher Yiolanda. He goes to his lookalike brother for advice, but why is he too stubborn to listen?

Note: The first edition of this book was titled Mariachi Murder.
