Hmmm - not really a gripping tale - but it does give a dose of intrigue, music, history and greed.
Caterina Pellegrini is hired to research the contents of an Italian baroque composer's estate - which is believed to include a treasure and is being claimed by two distantly related cousins.
As the author says somewhere in the middle of the book - they are contesting an estate from over 400 years ago - why do they think they have a claim?
