This was described to me as a mystery/thriller but I felt like the mystery aspect was very predictable. Despite that, the book was still a great read; I rooted for Ray to overcome all of the obstacles and racism he faced along his way and enjoyed the peek into a classical music world of which I knew nothing about.
Instead of mystery lovers, I would recommend this to anyone who like a good family saga or coming of age drama instead.
