Jessamyn Lovell, the Gypsy Violinist, entrances London's upper crust, but surely a careful listener can hear the sadness underscoring the lively music. She and her sister are beholden to their uncle, who has other motives for keeping them. Morgan Trevethwick, Earl of Silverton, knows he must find a bride soon, but he is distracted by his role in helping Scotland Yard find the mysterious Mr. Z, who is blackmailing his friends, not to mention the musician who is distracting him in an entirely different way. As intrigue swirls around them, Jessa and Morgan are drawn to each other. But will Jessa and her sister be thrown to the winds while Morgan submits to a loveless yet suitable marriage?
VERDICT This riveting mystery from Lawson (Sonata for a Scoundrel) highlights a sweet fairy tale; a perfect companion to a cup of tea on a wintry Saturday.
