LeGarde Mysteries by Aaron Paul Lazar

Mazurka, a contemporary mystery set against the dazzling backdrop of Europe, follows newlyweds Gus and Camille LeGarde as they chase down a family secret with the potential to change history. When Gus’ brother-in-law is framed for the murder of a Nazi, the couple is plunged into a cat-and-mouse game where the stakes are lethal and the future of Europe hangs in the balance. June, 2008
Firesong: an unholy grave, pits Gus and Camille against drug lords with a backdrop of a tornado, forest fire, collapsing salt mine, and the discovery of a fantastic local link to the Underground Railroad. The entire town is threatened as Gus and Camille unravel the truth behind reprehensible dealings in their country church and the scandal of a missing town supervisor.
Virtuoso spirits Gus into the world of art forgeries and teenage traumas. A deadly but talented tenor takes the family to New York City for a near-death escape at the Met and a chase through Central Park. In this story, Gus reconnects with an old friend who shares a stunning secret as he struggles to recover from the loss of a long time companion. Gus and Camille discover a tie to the past via his great, great aunt, Emma Cunningham.
Portamento takes place in 1969 when Elsbeth and Gus were students at the New England Conservatory. White slave rings, an engaging flower child, the Boston Rock scene, and the titillating reckless abandon of the sixties set the stage for Gus's sudden need to grow up fast for the sake of his grief-stricken father and impending fatherhood.

Hey! I want to read For Keeps next! I also want to read Mayra's Dark Lullaby. $%#%#@*!!! So many great books, so little time to read them all. The stack on my desk is high as a slush pile.
I have read the book. It is the third book in the Gus LeGarde series of mystery novels, which really gave me a lot of fun. But I think I love his book "Double Forti" better
Your book, Aaron, is moving toward the top of my pile and I am already salivating. I want it to be fresh in my mind when I host you. Thanks for this great interview Mayra! It is a delight to hear Aaron talk of his creative process and of his books.
Hey, Southern Writer! So nice to see you here! I'm afraid For Keeps will be a while off in the future, maybe two years out. Oh well, such is the process! Thank you! And Mayra's books all sound luscious!
Hey, Doug. Email me and tell me what you thought about the books. Glad you liked Double Forte'! I adore hearing from my readers. www.legardemysteries.com
Beryl, I'm hoping you enjoy Tremolo, and can't wait to hear what you think of it when your turn comes to host the virtual tour. ;o)





Great interview questions. Aaron I love your work. Every book of yours that I have read transports me into that time and place. Your characters are friends of mine now. :)
