I am now hooked on NC author Brendan Slocumb. The professional violinist and debut author pulls back the curtain on the world of classical music as the main character, Ray McMillan, tries to track down his stolen Stradivarius violin. Importantly, Slocumb addresses racism in the world of classical music, a field in which only 1.8% of professional musicians are Black. Read if you enjoy: fine arts mysteries, classical music, theatres, POC main characters
