The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason

4.0

This was a really fun adventure book in a lot of ways. It's a great premise, and the British Empire in Burma is a great setting. The only reason it's "missing" a star is that the characters besides Edgar and Katherine are all fairly wooden. Carroll is at least able to play it off as mysterious, but Khin Myo doesn't really serve as anything but an object for Edgar. Her relationship with Edgar never really gets into believability, which is a huge hitch for the book to progress as it does.
It's a fun book and I enjoyed reading it, it just never seemed to move past the "entertainment" level as it tried to do.
