Music to her ears

Something about music seems, er, to strike a chord. I just found Louise Ure's long, passionate post on Murderati about her musical education and crime fiction's continuing role in that education. A highlight is her checklist of fictional sleuths and their musical tastes.

My favorite is probably Ace Atkins, whose series features "sometime blues history teacher Nick Travers in New Orleans." That makes want to read Atkins, which I'm sure would please Louise.
