Although I liked the book I thought it was a little bit inconsistent.

When a former client gives Scott Drayco an Opera House in Cape Unity, he arranges to meet his next client there. Unfortunately he finds him dead with a letter G carved unto his body. Quite a few people have a motive, and is there any connection to Konstantina Klucze, a polish pianist who played at the House, or to the other murders which occur.

A PI inherits an old, unused opera house in a small town. He goes there to meet a client. When he gets there the client is dead -- murdered. The PI stays in the town to solve the murder. A few days later, the client's wife is murdered. Sounds intriguing, no? No. Was quite boring. The PI talks to a lot of people; a lot of people are suspect. But I'm really not sure why. All the characters are two-dimensional and the conversation is wooden. There is serious flirtation with the wife of a town councillor that is as hot as a cold plate of spaghetti, and goes nowhere. By time we get to the reveal I was barely scanning the pages to get through the book. Not my cuppa, and I like a good murder mystery. This did nothing for me.

Drayco didn't so much solve the case as have stuff happen to him and I didn't much care. I did read all of it so maybe it was worth the buck or two I paid for it.

This was a slow read, not quite worth it. I already knew the killer, it was the why, I didn't know at the time.
