PLAYING WITH FIRE by TESS GERRITSEN
PLAYING
WITH FIRE by TESS GERRITSEN
I devoured this book like a delicious cake. It was
that good. Although it starts with a normal scene where a violinist buys a book
in Rome, the moment when the three-year-old Lily enters the story, things get
insane. I don't want to spoil the book for you, so I won't reveal any further
details. The ending is unexpected as in most thrillers.
The story is a mix of thriller and historical fiction. The story is narrated
from the perspective of Julia and Lorenzo, the two main characters. Both these
characters are musicians of their time. The transition between the past and
present timelines is smooth and finally converges at the end of the book. I did
not know about the basic terminology of music like the waltz, rhythm, and other
things, but I enjoyed the way the author described the music and its impact on
the characters.
I will read more books from this author.
My rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
