As a white woman, raised in the American south, I know I can't fully understand what non-white people must endure due to people's ignorance, stupidity, hatred, idiocy, etc. I am thankful that authors like Brendan Slocumb write novels like The Violin Conspiracy to help me understand, so I can do better and help others do better.
P.S. JD Jackson can narrate any audiobook ever. Love his voice and narration skills!

What I didn't like: the plot of the stolen violin, and its resolution, fell flat for me. Though I didn't mind this, most of the book was was about Ray's life prior to his violin being stolen, which slowed down the pace.
All told, this book was very memorable for me, despite its plot weaknesses. Highly recommended for anyone who loves classical music, less so for someone looking for a true thriller.
The audio book has brief musical interludes between sections, which was a bonus!
