The Not-Ready-for-Juilliard Players
A literary musical mystery novel by Eileen P. Duggan, first released in April 2016 by Rocking Horse Publishing. Second edition released Sept. 1, 2020.
The Not-Ready-for-Juilliard Players follows four music majors who struggle to make it in a community college music department that has a Juilliard mentality.
Lynnéa, Erin, Holly and Austin form close friendships despite the fact that two of them study piano with the heinous Professor Dickson, who is despised by the other two. Along the way they find music and friendship, success and failure, lust and love, trust and threats — and murder.
The Not-Ready-for-Juilliard Players is a peek into the world of classical music education with a mystery running in the background.
*This novel is classified as literary fiction, but it has an element of mystery. Not a cozy mystery. Not a genre murder mystery. Certainly not “chick lit.”
