The Stradivarius by Rae Knowles
5.0
Got my copy (personally signed, I might add) at StokerCon where I met Rae (who is awesome btw). I went in not knowing what it was about and was immediately sucked into the story. Mae's life was turned upside down by the murder of her father as well as the theft of one of his most prized possessions: his Stradivarius.
Fast forward and things seem to be looking up. A new husband and a move back to the house where the murder occurred. But things aren't what they seem.
Rae perfectly blends atmospheric horror (with some almost gothic vibes), psychological uncertainty (with plenty of gaslighting), and lays out a mystery that kept me reading until the end. I also very much enjoyed her trans character Ollie who might be my new favorite.
Highly recommend!
