There was a lot to love about this book. The detailed commitment of musicians to their craft, family legacy and gift, examples of racism in every facet of our culture, and a great story. The part that fell flat for me was the thriller part around the theft of the violin. The culprit felt obvious and all of the chase and the investigation felt disjointed. But I really still loved it.
