mystery and music

The Lark Ascending is the title of a violin solo with orchestra accompaniment written by Ralph Vaughan Williams. It is considered by many musicians to be a perfect composition. So it is with Rick Blechta's novel, The Lark Ascending - it is a perfect composition, combining elements of music and mystery. Lose yourself in the magical and evidently dangerous world of the classical musician. Follow Victoria Morgan, violinist extraordinaire, and her husband, Rocky, trumpeter extraordinaire, as they fly to England so that Victoria can compete for a very rare and recently found Stradivarius violin. Lose yourself in the country side and fast-paced cities of Europe. As can only happen to Victoria and Rocky, murder and mayhem lead them through a very exciting and emotional European holiday. And at the same time that you are reading this novel, play a recording of the Lark Ascending. It all fits in so well.
