A Dangerous Duet by Karen Odden
5.0
This is the second book I've read by Karen Odden and I've definitely found a new favorite author. The way she writes her stories and characters. They way that everyone is living their own story and somehow come in and out of each other's lives feels so real. I've never read anything that makes me feel more like I'm reading about a wonderful realistic story than Odden's works.
A Dangerous Duet has so many unique and wonderful elements.
- Music is a huge aspect of this story and the way it's written feels so deep and true. As if the author is a musician herself and really understands what playing is like. Also, I've never found tuning a piano so fascinating in my life and want to know more now!!
- The love interest is not who you assume it will be at the very beginning of the book which is very refreshing. Also, love him to pieces. And that they went on a normal date, that doesn't happen a lot in Victorian novels and I found it really cute.
-Her brother Matthew. I really love this guy. A wonderfully written sibling relationship. And he's an inspector that sounds very, very attractive. Honestly I'd read a second book about Mathew's love story.
-And of course the mystery!!! Honestly, I love the way Odden writes her mysteries. They are such complex and different crimes from most books that our heroine wants nothing to do with, but can't look the other way on either. I do wish she had told Matthew what she knew sooner, but understand why she didn't.
The way everything played out in the end was exciting, fascinating, and left me wanting more.
(highly recommend the audio book. the narrator is chef's kisses)
