Okay, but I fear I had been very misled by a few reviews, which promised terribly wonderful surprises/twist at the end and that was very much not the case. Perfectly acceptable, in the time-killing mystery sort of way, but not one I'm likely to recommend all around. I am going to check out a few more in the series, however, because I think the first offering can often be the shaky one.

Not bad. Considering that it was labeled as a Charlie Peace series book, it didn't seem to focus too much on Charlie Peace. Not a bad read.

This was an entertaining story with interesting characters and good pacing. It suffered a bit from being too much inside the theater and opera world. It will help to have some knowledge of
different composers and their styles
. It also relies somewhat on dated activities for clues and misdirections. Things that were meaningful in the 1980's but now aren't. The clues weren't all 100% obvious looking back after I finished, but it was sufficiently satisfying that I'll read the next one in the series.
