    A mystery for serious music lovers - 4+
  

*by B***) on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018*

Once again, Peter Lovesey comes up with a story line that is highly original, researched and developed in great depth with one hundred percent credibility, and moves along smartly to a very satisfactory conclusion.  The title gives no clue that the major theme to this crime novel is classical music--and more specifically, the workings of a world-class quartet of musicians who are producing music at the highest level possible.  It delves into the characters of the musicians, the complexities of their music and even the mechanics and histories of their instruments.Because it's a crime novel, there are deaths/murders woven into the stories of the musicians.  Those connections are not easily sorted out, but are at the core of the novel.Lovesey is a marvel in how he produces one interestingly themed novel after another--all in the geographical context of Bath, England which always serves as a fascinating backdrop for the action.  Reading this novel, as generally is the case, makes the reader want more.  Fortunately, there's a respectably long backlist to choose from.

    Ending does not satisfy
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021*

I enjoyed the first half, at the very least , of this mystery immensely. The workings of quartet music works.  Works beautifully. A lovely surprise!I don’t think that Diamond's analysis of the solution, as it echoes the music being recorded by the main players, works.: a tour de force that falls flat.  Peter Diamond does not seem quite himself; he could well have been some other character from some other book.I enjoyed most of this book and stuck with it, wondering how in the world ALL of it would all come together and beginning to think that there was nothing truly interesting about the mystery in  itself. The ending was so unsatisfying that I lay in bed thinking of the awful review I was going to give this book.I can’t do it because Peter Lovesey takes such pains, pushes the envelope, with each book, and that is something rare.Note: Maybe I’m missing the point of the opening scene?  Are we not to think it is going something to do with the puzzle itself? Does it?

    WHO STOLE THE VIOLA? AND A SOLUTION SET TO THE GROSSE FUGUE.
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017*

SPOILERS, SPOILERS:Why was Mel's viola stolen and thrown into the canal?  That is the most intriguing remaining question to me, and it was never explained.  Now, the reason for its inclusion in the story is explained as a red herring to cast suspicion on Mel.  Or at least I think that was it.  But I certainly would like to know what motivated the Asian girl and her male accomplice and who they were.  Maybe they just hated his playing?  I mean, throw us a crumb.Other than that. . . author Lovesey said at a booksigning that he had been working on the idea of conflicts in a quartet for more than 20 years and going back to it from time to time.  So he had collected a lot of info.  He wondered aloud if readers had noticed the resolution of the mystery being accompanied by the Grosse Fugue and the parts being related to each other.  To me, a lover of both classical music and mysteries, it was a clever parallel development.  But it was a bit awkward that Diamond would intentionally do such a thing -- Diamond was not a lover of classical music, in fact could barely stand the bedlam, and on pg. 326 of the paperback states that to say he was familiar with the piece would be an overstatement.  So Diamond's synch-ing his solution with the music had to be pure improvisation and good luck.  Whereas Lovesey's ability to do it, of course, is a given.Mr. Lovesey succeeded in nicely weaving his interest in quartets and their instruments and music into a mystery, and on that score, pun, the readers profit by the treat, or feat.
