Title: A Chorus of Detectives
Subtitle: Opera Mystery, Book 3
Author: Barbara Paul
Narrator: Chris Kayser
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 38 mins
Language: English
Release date: 03-25-13
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective
Publisher's Summary:
Christmas season at the Metropolitan Opera in 1920 features Enrico Caruso and Geraldine Farrar in a varied schedule of mostly Italian operas. For members of the Metropolitan chorus, however, the season's main feature is danger. An urn falls on the head of a soprano chorister in Samson and Delilah; a tenor from the chorus is found hanged in a dressing room before the evening's performance of Mefistofele; in I Pagliacci, a trapdoor drops open and three singers fall through.
Several people come under suspicion: Giulio Setti, chorus master from Milan, whose career rides on the success of the season; general manager Giulio Gatti-Casezza and his assistant Edward Ziegler, both of whom must negotiate the chorus's demands for more money; and Alessandro Quaglia, conducting for his second year and still in the shadow of the great Toscanini. Although Caruso and Farrar begin an investigation of their own, more deaths occur. Caruso sings La Juive on Christmas Eve (his last performance), the stars arrange an elaborate trap, and the killer is unmasked.
Members Reviews:
Fun Read!
Fun to read. I love opera, so I enjoyed it more, perhaps, than someone who knows nothing about opera performances, musicians, etc. However, the story moves along at a nice rate and is a mystery anyone would enjoy -- whether they love opera or not!
"Good" Condition ?
All the pages are there. but the quality rating as good is one I won't trust again. This one had been wet at some point; pages were stiff and stuck together; didn't smell very good.
Another Barbara Paul winner
An ailing Caruso, with the aid of several other stars of the Metropolitan Opera House, tries to track down a killer who has a nasty habit of doing away with the chorus members.
Anyone who enjoys a neat murder plot, set against a carefully researched background, will find this book well worth reading.
Ms Paul has crafted another interesting mystery, and more: she has brought her historical characters back to vivid life.
