The Violin Conspiracy
by Brendan Slocumb
This one is a true page-turner. It revolves around the mystery of a stolen violin. What makes it stand out is the author’s love for the music and the well-thought-out story of Ray, a Black violinist. The story looks at his past, the cut-throat world of classical music, and the racism he faced on his way to the top. It also showed how delicate family ties are when money (BIG MONEY) enters the game.
I liked how Ray's confidence grew with his musical ability, but he remained humble. The commentary on prejudice and systemic abuse isn’t always subtle, but why would it be?
The Violin Conspiracy is a great mix of mystery, thriller, coming-of-age drama, and social commentary. I had a lot of fun listening to it.
