Murder at the Opera by Margaret Truman
3.0
This book started promising, like any other book in the world. We follow plenty of people in the story. A couple who were former defense attorneys, a retired detective, a talent manager, two active-duty detectives and an intelligence officer. A lot of characters to keep up with but the author did a great job to hook you to every single one of them and their story lines.
I read the first half and it was good, then out of nowhere another story line popped out that I had no freaking idea what the hell was going on. It threw me off a little bit. It was so random but I got intrigued.
I learned so much about operas, but I wasn’t sure whether if they were real or not. It was hard to separate an opera fact to pseudo fact, considering I don’t know anything about operas. But I did enjoy the the whole opera aspect of the book.
There were so many things happening but it wasn't overwhelming. It was very interesting how the author connected everything in the end. The problem I have with this book is it lacked an intense factor, a “wow” factor and it felt like the story was dragged just to throw a couple of more mysteries on top on an ongoing one. It was an underwhelming finish but overall a solid read. 3 stars!
