The leader of a chamber music quartet is murdered in full view of the audience. His priceless violin disappears. And DCI Oldroyd is in the audience. In an auditorium full of witnesses, no one saw anything. It’s a story with plenty of twists and turns before reaching an unexpected ending. (

One of a quartet is murdered at a Halifax musical performance, at which DCI Oldroyd is coincidentally present, and their valuable Stradivarius goes missing. Despite witnessing the crime, Jim Oldroyd puzzles as to how it was done and by whom. Although there are a number of cliched plot elements, it is a genuinely clever plot with several twists and red herrings before the reveal at the end. It also throws interesting light on the Stradivarius violin maker, which we've all heard of but know little about. I also enjoyed reading about Haifax's Piece Hall which I've visited and the Hebden Bridge area. (

Oldroyd's offsider is again DS Carter, the new man from London, But I think his character was better drawn than in the first novel in the series.

I liked the further fleshing out of Oldroyd's character and I thought the mystery was better plotted.
Narrator Michael Page again does a good job of his voice presentation.
This series is engaging enough for me to look for another audio book. (

I truly hope you take the time to seek out this little treasure. It is jam packed full of suspects so you might want to take notes along the way if you like to try and figure out the "who dun it" or just sit back and watch it unfold. Great trilogy so far! (
