Maria owns an antique store and one of her favorite pieces is an old piano. But when Maria dies suddenly, her husband stores it, along with her other antiques, in their garage.
When Marias young daughter, Melissa, decides after a year or so after her mothers death she liked to learn how to play the piano, John brings in Marias antique piano from the garage for Melissa to play on. But one of the keys is stuck, so John calls a Piano tuner to fix it. The problem is a small wooden box that is blocking the string.
When John opens the box, he discovers an old black and white photograph, and several letters. He reads them and discovers that the piano used to belong to a young woman named Elsa Thompson. The letters are between Elsa, an aspiring pianist, and Grant Ford, an engineering student. The letters cover a two year period and start with a friendship that blossoms into a romance, but unfortunately, the letters end before the couple marry.
John wonders what happened to Elsa and Grant, and begins his own search of the past. Its a mystery, an obsession, that he feels he has to solve in honor of his late wife and himself.
THE SILENT NOTE is a charming, mysterious and romantic tale. Davis does a remarkable job with period detail and character development. The plot is sound, descending into a wonderful climatic ending. I really enjoyed it!
