I loved this book. LOVED. The suspense is wonderful, the hero is HOOOOTTTTT, and the writing is fantastic. It's one of those books where you tell yourself you'll just keep reading one more page before you put it down, but it sucks you in and you CAN'T put it down.

I'd recommend it to not only to lovers of romantic suspense, but anyone who loves a good book that's well written, evocative, and veerrryyyy sexy.

Another fantastic book by Nancy Herkness! I loved her previous books, A Bridge to Love and Shower of Stars, so I was soooo glad when I heard about Music of the Night.

Once again, Nancy displays her wonderful flair for giving us an unconventional, non-clichéd romance hero. Nicholas Vranos is a hot (and I mean hot!) world class symphony conductor. When his orchestra's brilliant French Horn player is murdered in a practice room in Carnegie Hall, Nicholas is the prime suspect. Despite that disturbing fact, police detective Anna Salazar can't stop the sizzling attraction that draws from the first moment they meet. As their relationship progresses, she tries harder and harder to prove his innocence. But Nicholas is undeniably mixed up in a scheme involving the supposed discovery of Beethoven's legendary Tenth Symphony. Is the newly discovered score the real thing? Or just a clever forgery? And who, exactly, is murdering to protect it?

The plot starts out moving quickly and only picks up suspense and momentum as the pages turn. You won't want to put this thriller down until the final, crashing crescendo!

I don't often write reviews but wanted to add my appreciation for this book. Having a bit of a music background, there were times I felt I could "hear" the music. I fully enjoyed the mystery and I hated to leave the characters when the book ended. I had not read any of Nancy's books previously but will certainly add her to my favorite authors.

A romantic and sexy backstage tour of the famous Carnegie Hall -- with a charismatic and talented hero, a fiercely determined and passionate heroine, a possibly priceless musical score, and a sprinkling of dangerous villains. All in all, an excellent read with a dramatic beginning, a very satisfying ending, and some very hot moments in between!

Without a doubt the best romance I have read in years. With a fantastic mystery/suspense element added in it was a book I could not put down. I hope the next book is out soon!

This romantic suspense is full of romance but keeps you guessing as to "who done it". I read it in one sitting and loved every minute (exhausted the next day from my late night read). Such fun to have an insiders view of Carnegie Hall.

If you love hot heroes, smart heroines, richly atmospheric settings, great secondary characters, and a mystery that actually keeps you guessing until the end, then Nancy Herkness's MUSIC OF THE NIGHT is the book you've been looking for.

I couldn't put it down. Literally. I read it in line at the bank, while going through the car wash, and during dinner to my husband's dismay. It was that good.

Nancy Herkness's prose is sharp, crisp, emotionally resonant, and always engaging. You'll love her.

Nancy Herkness' Music of the Night takes us into the realm of classical music set in the world-famous Carnegie Hall.
Ms. Herkness builds suspense the way a master composer creates a symphony. She weaves mesmerizing sexual tension with the discordant terror of a murderer loose in Carnegie Hall, never losing the rhythm of the lovers' dance.
New York Detective Lieutenant Anna Salazar is in charge of the murder investigation. World-renowned conductor Nicholas Vranos not only found his friend's body, but further discoveries link him to this murder. Anna's inquiries reveal more bizarre connections, including newly discovered Beethoven's 10th symphony. Maestro Nicholas Vranos is a leading authority on Beethoven.
When the truth is revealed, more lives are at stake, building to a dramatic crescendo in the story's spellbinding climax.
Bravo!! Ms. Herkness has another winner in Music of the Night.

Ms Herkness writes a beautiful book that I couldn't put down! The characters are well developed, the plot holds your attention, and the details bring the settings into full view for the reader. It's a treat to read.
