Ellis Peter's mystery book are enjoyment to read. Amazon and various book dealers who provide me with so many books, many history books, over the years continue to get my orders because the service is always fast and the books in good to excellent condition.

In this book it shows how art mimics life. Dominic and his girlfriend Tossa are at a folk music weekend at a well-known English college devoted to music. They find themselves in the middle of a family drama, and when one of the performers goes missing, Dominic knows that he has to get his father, George Felse to help. Sure enough the missing person turns into two missing persons, and a body does turn up. The plot is woven around folk songs and music, and this is a particularly effective way to string a plot together. Although I figured out the story before I finished the book, it kept my interest. Ms. Peters' prose is as beautiful as ever.
