9. Reading "The Violin Conspiracy" by Brendan Slocumb

Listening to Mercedes Lackey’s “The Lark and the Wren”

The Violin Conspiracy is a first novel and lacks a bit of fluidity. I like it because I have personal, familiar connections with violins and violinist. The story is of a black man who is to enter the Tchaikovsky Competion play his GGGrandfather’s old violin which turns out to be a Stradivarius. The Stad gets stolen for ransom.

None of this is a spoiler.

The Lark and the Wren is wonderfully read. The story line is similar to other Lackey’s I’ve heard and read. That does not take away from the great story and Chrysta Lewis’ masterful reading.
