This is a lovely book, much much more than a mystery novel. I'm tempted to call it a coming of age tale, but that's not right either. Perhaps it's best described as a coming into one's own tale, as there's so many characters of various ages within it who grow and change and become better versions of themselves. There's a lot of touching moments and plenty of mystery and twists. A fair amount of 90's nostalgia thrown in. Super fitting for anyone who loves music.
