Love the twists and turns!

Goofy saved the parade from catching on fire.

Ooh so good! I've never read about horseman before so I was intrigued. What I didn't like is the fact at the end after months of being apart he comes back to her and said he has served his purpose it was to vague

An excellent ending to the Belmont Mansion trilogy. Musical readers will especially enjoy this Reconstruction-era story of Rebekah Carrington, a young musician just returning from extensive training in Vienna. Rebekah sadly finds that she must hide the light of her talent under a bushel, due to her status as a female. However, she continues her work as a music tutor, eventually landing a position as the capable assistant to the conductor of the fledgling Nashville Symphony, Tate Whitcomb. They each learn to embrace their respective heritages as the keys to their success, and soon become a celebrated team. However, with Tate learning that he is losing his hearing, and Rebekah on the run from her predatory step-father, they find their faith seriously challenged. The story emerges with a happy ending, in which both Rebekah and Tate learn to trust God with their future, and each other with their hearts. The end result is sweetly satisfying (if a bit rushed at the end), with a golden vein of faith throughout.

It was super interesting! I read it very quickly even though I am usually a slow reader. If you have a short attention span like me, you would love this book!

Interesting and personal insight but I found the actual poetry/prose lacking. The chapter with all rhyming poems felt really out of place

While overall an entertaining read, I think it read more like a screenplay than a novel. Reading the notes at the end of the book made this notion clearer as the inspiration was in fact a couple of Sherlock Holmes movies set in the 1940s. I think this can work out to an advantage in some cases, but in this book, it resulted in an overemphasis on the setting and atmosphere at the expense of getting to understand any of the characters in depth. Perhaps the author is hoping to piggyback on the plethora of development that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and no shortage of screenwriters have attempted to forge, but in my opinion this book falls flat on its own basis.

Good Book
