cover blurb:
Various singers and musicians are gathered for a folk music course that will occupy a weekend in the fantastic country mansion called Follymead. Most come only to sing or to listen, but one or two have non-musical scores to settle. When brilliantly talented Liri Palmer sings:
'Black, black, black is the colour of my true-love's heart!
His tongue is like a poisoned dart,
The coldest eyes and the lewdest hands...'
she clearly has a message for one of the audience. Passions run high; there is murder brewing at Follymead.
Among the music students are Tossa Barber and her boyfriend Dominic Felse. When disaster strikes, Dominic can privately enlist the aid of his father, Detective Inspector George Felse, to unravel the tangle of events.

An enjoyable read; light on the detecting but plenty of drama.

Sent to tantan for the OZ VBB.
Received yesterday - thanks catsalive!
I liked this book, but didn't love it. I've read quite a few of Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael books, and I think I like those better. Mainly I think for the juxtaposition of crime with the completely un-modern settings. However that said, if another Felse book came my way I'd certainly give it a try.
As for this story itself, it was easy enough reading, but I felt it wrapped up a bit quickly. I got a bit lost with all the folksy stuff - I've never been one for reading long passages of poetry or song, and struggled to follow the storyline in the climatic folk song piece at the end. Oh well.
I will offer this up on the Oz VBB.

Releasing at the May meetup at Queens Street Rescue
Wow this book has been on the road for a long time, caught at QSR. It can rest awhile in Templestowe before resuming its travels.
I first read this book many years ago - last century in fact, enjoyed it then and again on this my second reading. I love the setting, a Gothic mansion in the west countryside near the border of Wales, at a folk music seminar. The characters are well contrived and the plot devious enough that it is not obvious at once. Well worth reading.

Last century I read and enjoyed a few Felse books and now I have one that I've not read. Thank you.

It was nice to read another Felse novel and the folk music stuff was very interesting.
