So what if she’s living in a scruffy apartment in Hackensack, New Jersey, and the waitress job she’s taken to make ends meet is driving her crazy? Her band, Maxximum Blues, is really taking off, thanks to the talents of guitarist Jimmy Nashville, a heartbreakingly handsome guy whose life is complicated by an assortment of girlfriends.\n\nBut then Jimmy plunges to his death from the window of his ninth-floor apartment. His death intensifies tensions already simmering in the band, and Maxx fears her dream of making it as a singer might just as well be dead too. Besides, she has to admit that, though she was trying to resist his charm, she was as smitten with Jimmy as were the other women in his life.\n\nWhen Jimmy’s death is ruled suicide, Maxx resolves to go sleuthing on her own.\n\nCozy but cool, Sweet Man Is Gone features a quirky cast of characters that include a skeptical cop and an assortment of eccentric musicians. Maxx’s quest, played out against a backdrop of blues and Manhattan bar bands, uncovers a surprising number of people who had reason to kill Jimmy, and it takes her deep into Jimmy’s mysterious past.\n\nThe plot, with its surprising and dramatic climax, will keep readers guessing until the last few pages.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1594146683\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1594146683.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Peggy Ehrhart\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366628261949,"sku":"BVV.1594146683.VG","price":28.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1594146683-0.jpg?v=1784413903","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/sweet-man-is-gone-five-star-mystery-series-five-star-mystery-series-maxx-maxwell-mysteries","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
