This novel was excellent. Bern Hendricks is called upon by the Delaney Foundation, to authenticate a piece that was written by Federick Delaney. Bern Hendrick's expertise on this 20th century composer, qualifies him for the task. Bern gets the foundation to hire his friend Eboni. The 2 of them put their heads together, and uncovered some really embarrassing facts. The director of the foundation goes to some crazy extremes, to make sure this information does not get out. This read has a little romance, some crime and some mystery. This is a must read for anyone who loves, a really good book.

Predictable.
Symphony of Secrets is another great book from Brendan Slocumb. It is his second book and I have to say that it is better than his debut. Its a story of a professor hired to authenticate and transcribe a lost opera from a famed composer from the 1920s. What he finds is not as straight forward as he probably had hoped. The narrative feels so much deeper and fleshed out than his first novel. I will be recommending this book to anybody asking.
Listened to it. Compelling characters who you routed for. Most were well dimensioned but he board was not chacterized that way. Loved Josephine!!
I really enjoyed this book. I felt so strongly about Josephine that I cursed out loud multiple times on her behalf! It was a compelling and satisfying story, and the portion set in the 20s felt very plausible.
That was a fun ride! The mystery thriller regarding music written a century ago and some lost compositions found currently toggles back and forth between the 1920s and 2020s weaving together what happened. I appreciated the creative storylines and the author’s note at the end about the importance of contemplating the possibility of stories like this existing, though this particular story is fiction.
