Viola wants power and doesn’t care who gets hurt in her attempts to get it.įisher Brodie is one of my favorite characters in here. She shows that right off the bat, and one thing I loved is that while we do get to see more of who she is, there’s no attempts at redemption. Viola cares about one thing and one thing only – herself. First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever hated a character as viscerally as I hated Viola Fabian when she first appeared. I won’t get into all of them but I have to mention a couple. And that’s I think what makes this novel so amazing – the characters. Instead what we get is a story about people, all different types of people, but all discovering themselves in ways they didn’t expect. There definitely is a little bit of a mystery here, but not in the same vain as a normal mystery novel.
Based off the synopsis, I expected a sort of a cross between a mystery novel and haunted hotel novel. Now I have to say right off the bat, this book was not what I expected it to be. This is a genre-bending page-turner, full of playful nods to pop-culture classics from The Shining to Agatha Christie to Glee.
When a young prodigy disappears from infamous room 712, the search for her entwines an eccentric cast of conductors and caretakers, teenagers on the verge and adults haunted by memories. Now hundreds of high school musicians have gathered at the Bellweather for the annual Statewide festival Minnie has returned to face her demons and a blizzard is threatening to trap them all inside.
Fifteen years ago, a murder-suicide in room 712 rocked the grand old Bellweather Hotel and the young bridesmaid who witnessed it, Minnie Graves.
