kathed 's review for:

The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb
4.75
challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I almost couldn't put it down!  The mystery wasn't strong (nothing surprised me) but the settings, emotions, and the musical evocations were stellar and compelling.
