Read online via my local library. It's cute and entertaining. My biggest critique is that he main woman character and her friend (the only other major woman character) are frequently immensely stupid. Normally, that bothers me but it seems to work in this novel. It's very quirky, I guess. So how much you like it will vary, I imagine.

edit: typos

Not one of Neggers' best books, but a fairly cute romantic mystery set in and around a Florida orchestra.

I really enjoyed this book. Different than those that I am used to reading, but still as good.

This was an easy read. Not one of my favorites. But was nice on a cold snowy day next to the fire.
