Warrender series ( )

I call the cover of my copy "Chiropractor at the Opera". This is Mary Burchell's seventh Warrender novel: As secretary to a famous opera impresario, Mary finds herself becoming involved in the professional, and personal, life of tenor Nicholas Brenner. As all of Ida Cook's ("Mary Burchell's") operatic novels, the details of training and performance ring true, making this a fun read for anyone who is a musician or knows one. The details are authentic for a simple reason: the author was not only a life-long opera fan, but also a personal friend of most of the great opera performers of the 20th century. ( )
