Publisher's summary

Fitz Gaffney finally has some breathing room. His mother's out of town, his piano coaches have backed off, and he's spending his time in a music conservatory where he only has to be adequate for an entire year before all his responsibilities come crashing back in again. Along with his new free time comes the realization that he's lonely, but his first attempt to make new friends goes horribly awry.

Fitz's new - but possibly imaginary - friends, Evan and Serge, want to help him find happiness. His used-to-be-step-brother Ari Scheffield wants to help him gain confidence and a little much-needed cool. His housekeeper Marguerite wants to keep fowl in the back yard for butchering because duck confit is expensive and she has pillows to re-stuff. And his possible new boyfriend Garrett wants to prove he didn't mean for their first date to end with Fitz lying unconscious in a dumpster.

All Fitz wants is someone to care about him, but suddenly there seems to be a glut. How's a shy guy to know what's real when he's confronted by crazy ghosts, a less-than-truthful boyfriend, and relatives with hidden motives in Rhapsody for Piano and Ghost.

Worth repeat listens

Thoroughly enjoyed this book for the second time. Excellent narration takes the well crafted story to its best iteration.

Sweet with drama; drugs warning

There is drinking and drugs in this in case that is an issue for you. It is primarily the “bad” guy.

The narrator every once in awhile for one particular character like a young Wil Wheaton. All is done well, even the accented characters.
I’d listen to him again.

The story had sweet elements, danger, stupidity, growth. I liked it a lot.

An enjoyable listen.

Really liked the characters and the story was fun and held my interest! The narrator was pleasing to listen to as well. Wouldn't mind revisiting this world.

I really enjoyed this story

I’m realizing I’m a Z A Maxfield fan!
I loved the St Nachos and Brothers Grime series, but was more luke warm about the few others I tried. The more I read/listen, the more titles I’m finding that really touch something in me. I love the way this one is written. The chapter titles made me chuckle. Before long I found I was looking forward to the next one. I’d love to find a print copy, and I’m sure I’ll listen again. This narrator was new to me, but he was good, much better than many bigger names in m/m narration. I’ll be looking for more of his work as well.

A little sweet, a little quirky, a little paranormal. Rhapsody for Piano and Ghost is definitely worth a listen.

👍🏻

This author has quickly become one of my favorites. Their story telling is fun and enticing and has grown over the years from story to story. This particular one frustrated me more than I was expecting but I’d definitely still recommend it for anyone looking for a unique read.

good story, good performance

the two ghosts in the story just didn't seem to fit all that well with the storyline but it flowed and it was enjoyable to listen to.

Sweet story with a strange title

The characters are cute though a little one dimensional, and the supernatural aspects are unexpected but enjoyable. The narration is excellent. Maybe weird, but one of my favorite parts of the book are the whimsical chapter titles.
