このコンテンツについて
This brilliantly conceived audiobook begins with the sudden death of a young violinist during a concert performance of Gustav Mahler’s Sixth Symphony at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with music from the Boston Symphony Orchestra woven throughout this truly classical whodunnit. Blind, curmudgeonly violinist Daniel Jacobus and his companions, Yumi and Nathaniel, join forces with Branwell Small, a questionably trustworthy partner in crime solving, and officious DCI Christopher Mattheson as they follow every baffling clue, twist, and turn.
The talents of a world-class orchestra and world-class narrator help create a thrilling audiobook full of secrets and surprises that will keep mystery and classical music lovers on the edge of their seats.
Music by Vivaldi, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Elgar, Mozart, Brahms, Dvorak, Schubert, Beethoven, and others, played by the Boston Symphony orchestra.

"Filled with twists and turns this murder mystery is sure to delight fans... A listening experience that shouldn't be missed...the perfect combination of mystery, music, and Alison Larkin's narration." (The Berkshire Eagle)
"Alison Larkin's crystalline voice adds verve to Gerald Elias's eighth mystery featuring Daniel Jacobus, who is blind. Elias, who is a violinist and composer, as well as a writer, clearly adores classical music and finds its adherents wonderful and quirky. Larkin's expressive narration lets the eccentricity shine in this tale about a musician's death in the midst of Mahler's 6th Symphony. Jacobus and his musical companions, Yumi Shinagawa and Nathaniel Williams, partner and spar with an overbearing Scotland Yard detective as they try to discover why anyone would kill a sweet-tempered young violinist. Larkin's attentive pacing highlights the book's wit, and her characterizations leave one grinning. Occasional musical interludes round out the atmosphere, making for an altogether delightful listen." (AudioFIle)
"In the eighth installment of the Daniel Jacobus mystery series by violinist and composer Elias (after *Cloudy with a Chance of Murder*), London’s Royal Albert Hall is sold out for a performance of Mahler’s dramatic Sixth Symphony by the Harmonium Orchestra. As the final note descends, a bullet kills one of the performers, young violinist Natasha Conrad, a student of Jacobus’s friend/protégée Yumi Shinagawa. Cantankerous Jacobus, whose career as a musician was cut short when he lost his vision, is urged by a devastated Yumi to investigate, and soon the charming cast of characters from previous Jacobus mysteries gathers to solve Natasha’s inexplicable murder. As in previous cases, Jacobus employs his extraordinary musical knowledge and well-developed four remaining senses to investigate a wonderfully twisty mystery. From Jacobus’s growl to Yumi’s passionate and youthful speaking voice, narrator Alison Larkin skillfully portrays the varied cast. She adeptly modulates her pace to allow the narrative to flow between plot developments and the wealth of musical knowledge Elias imparts. *VERDICT* Music aficionados and readers of Nero Wolfe should enjoy spending time with the eccentric and delightfully grumpy Jacobus and his friends; this novel works even for those new to the series. Includes fun musical interludes performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra." (Beth Farrell, The Library Journal)
