A cast of characters that are hard to forget

Revisado: 09-07-22

This plot could probably be simplified to a paragraph. But the author's ability to paint images with words musuc and lyrics is like an adult picture book. Full of color, shapes and faces for vivid imaginations. Its hard to step back into the real world after reading a few chapters.

Preposterous and not in a good way

Revisado: 03-29-22

There was nothing in this book that brought suspense, mystery or even much of a climax. The premise of an over- involved psychologist- sleuth who was decredentialed because of her unconventional approach was a no-starter from the beginning. Save your credit.

Can music unite us?

Revisado: 03-13-22

The mystery of a lost violin is really a sub-plot for a lesson in the power of music for teaching us about race and love of all people- especially those not like us. For anyone who thinks we are beyond those lessons read. And, think again.

Such a giant leap forward in all ways

Revisado: 02-28-22

it's hard to believe the growth in plot, characterization and atmosphere this book represents. All the good things about a Lucy Foley book but much more of of it. There's also an overriding question about what is evil and right or wrong. So appropriate for today's readers. Next, please!

A jumble of characters a rambling plot

Revisado: 01-19-22

What happens when you write a mystery and spread the guilt among the characters? The motivations and the spark for evil is diluted. No one has been truly able to do this except Christie, P.D. James and Tana French.This was an interesting but highly flawed exercise. it may make a doable tv series adaptation with the right actors but not compelling reading.

Couldn't even finish the first few chapters

Revisado: 11-23-21

Hysterical over-the-top narration. A mashup of laughable romance and witchcraft. I had no relationship with characters- try as I might. Save your credit for another book.

An ending that doesn't disappoint

Revisado: 11-20-21

I wondered how this series could end. Answer: Perfectly. Reflection, insights, resolution. Optimism. All there

might be a great tv series but...

Revisado: 11-14-21

I found the play on the event sequence failed as an experiment in novel form. But, it might make an interesting tv script and series. I found less of interest in the psychology of the characters and the plot dragged still with the right casting it could be made into something more. it needs an adaptation. Could be fun.

Addicted

An investigator I want to learn more about. A plot with unique and memorable characters. Many sentences that stuck with me. And some personal insights gained. It has it all-
