This is the fifth outing for Jacobus in what has become a consistently entertaining series. Keep 'em coming"-- "Booklist"<br><br>"Jacobus indulges his inner Sherlock in a low-key tale that examines music as metaphor, provides insights into the creation of world-class violins, and exposes how some people can turn arson and insurance fraud into lucrative careers"-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>"Readers will enjoy a most unseasonal fable of the little insurance fraud that grew and grew. Merry Christmas"-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
