Vienna in Violet by David W. FrankMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Vienna, somewhere around 1822. The beautiful Countess Eugénie von Neulinger asks her friend, the renowned opera singer Johann Michael Vogl, to put a poem she has written to music, with the help of his friend the musician Franz Schubert.
But Countess von Neulinger is a schemer, and the song will have terrible consequences for all involved, including herself.
After she is found dead, Vogl & Schubert must prove their innocence in a society where their best interests are not those of the people involved in the crime.
This book is beautifully written, but a bit slow for my taste. Perhaps too much description of Viennese society and politics?
3.5 stars for me.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
