I GIVE THIS BOOK: 4 Stars
MY THOUGHTS:
This was an enjoyable book. I'm learning to play the violin and so I loved that this book is centered around the violin and luthiers. I thought the cover was gorgeous, too.
I most enjoyed the mystery of the missing violinists. Why were they missing and for what purpose? The ending explained most of it, but it could have been a little more in detail for my liking.
This will probably not be a book I'll read again, but overall it was a fun and quick read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book to review. I was asked to give my honest opinion of the book - which I have done.
