註釋Music researcher Phineas Fox has been enjoying his latest commission, gathering background material for a biography of Franz Liszt. But although he has - as anticipated - uncovered plenty of scandal in the 19th century composer's past, matters take a decidedly unexpected turn when his investigations lead to Linklighters, a newly-opened Soho restaurant built on the site of an old Victorian music hall, and unearth evidence of a possible murder involving the notorious music hall performer known as Scaramel. Just what was Liszt's connection to Scaramel . . . and, through her, to the infamous Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper? As he delves further, Phin's enquiries uncover clues to a fascinating and extraordinary story - and plunge his own life into jeopardy."Research leading to mystery is the hook of this delightful series. Rayne is a fine writer, a sure-handed plotter and skillful character builder . . . Fox is perhaps her most intriguing creation"Booklist"Enjoyable . . . Rayne provides vivid descriptions of Victorian London along with fascinating details of the life of Franz Liszt . . . Those who like their mysteries erudite will be well satisfied"Publishers Weekly
