jenniferrobin826 's review for:

The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb
3.0

I wanted to love this book. In actuality, I only appreciated it. I am so glad this book was written and the author is the real deal and seemingly a wonderful human. His mission is to write mysteries around people of color in the classical music scene and their hidden accomplishments and bring light to the struggles they continue to endure. I hate to say but the plot felt a little flat to me, almost more YA or something that could be taught but a little slow in its delivery. The flashbacks lasted a little too long for me and I wish more of the story took place in real time but ultimately this book is still worth a spin through. I listened to some parts on audio and liked mixing it up.
