What I loved about this novel were the immersive focus on music and music terminology, as well as the dramatic storytelling. I was sucked in immediately and had many thoughts about the "whodunit" from the get-go. It was a respectable debut novel, though I did have a few quibbles. Some of the characters felt like little more than caricatures. Ray's younger siblings were never named (unless I missed it?) and were referred to only as "the twins," making them seem like cardboard placeholders. It was also disappointing that most of the antagonistic characters were described as fat and/or ugly. There were times when I would have desired a bit more subtlety (more showing, less telling) in the narrative, and some of the contrived drama and the ending neatly wrapped up with a bow was almost too much, but I'll forgive these in a first novel.
