bailedSorry to say, I'm DNFing this novel. The characters are difficult to like, and there's way more detail than I need (I guess it's modestly interesting to hear how much a music video costs to make and to see how the audition process works, but not interesting enough for how many words are devoted to it). And now that the love interest is kind of a stalker/pedo? Yeah, not really working for me and kind of ruins my picture of him from the later books.
pickJust finished this & loved it. While this novel isn't as intense as "The Good House," it remains a fun read.
.
"Joplin's Ghost" presents 2 story lines. 1 set in the past & focuses on Scott Joplin. Another set in the present around contemporary musician, Phoenix. Eventually, the storylines merge with a cursed piano, ghosts, reincarnation, & channeling.
I appreciate the author's note at the end as Due's input increases the richness of this work.
This is the actual Scott Joplin who stars in the prologue.
