The Musician's Daughter by Susanne DunlapAbout: Fifteen-year-old Theresa becomes entangled in a web of mystery when her father is discovered dead on Christmas Eve, his precious violin missing and a strange pendant around his neck. Theresa delves into her father's life searching for answers and is stunned to discover his secret life. Driven by love for her father, family, and a man she only thought she knew, she must finish what her father could not.
Opinion: This was really good. It takes place in eighteenth-century Vienna and is loaded with all the really good story stuff: romance, murder, music, mystery, lies, justice, deception... You know, the good stuff. The story really races along the whole time and I was running along with Theresa, totally eager to find out what the heck happened and was still going on. Susanne Dunlap did a really good job with the plot. It was complicated - very realistic situations - and you actually had to think through what was happening (which actually sort of peeved me because I was so used to just racing along with the story but hey, it was worth it). The Musician's Daughter is well worth your time.
