I was disappointed by the “mystery” in this story but it wasn’t really about the theft of a priceless violin, it was about Ray’s family history and the struggles he overcame to achieve his dream of becoming a concert violinist. I loved that despite how he was treated, he stayed kind to others, true to himself and never gave up.
Instead of for mystery lovers, I would recommend this to anyone who like a good family saga or coming of age drama instead.
