Violins can become legendary and priceless, full of mystique and surprises. This is the first of a mystery series with luthier Gianni and his friend and detective Guastafeste following an historic trail. Very interesting read - you don't have to like classical music to enjoy the twists and turns as the secrets reveal the path to the location of a priceless violin. A fascinating look at the world of violin collecting, with a couple of grisly murders and even a love story. I enjoyed the writing style and learned a lot about violins!
