About book Saks & Violins (2015)

If I hear once more about Judith's hip replacement I think I'll shriek! The surgeons should be talking to MS Daheim about her portrayal of the results of their work. Her weakness and pain is not the way I hear it and my Mother, at about the same age, had a replacement after several years of extreme pain and never complained of difficulties from it. Anyway - the extreme complexities of the musical family was difficult to follow. I almost needed to draw up a family tree. Judith's mother drives me up the wall, as does Arlene from next door. All that being so, why do I enjoy these? Answer, I don't know, except that the pacing, events, revelations and ancillary people are intriguing and there are enough funny bits that I'm kept reading. I think MS Daheim needs to read up on fox hunting a little more, though, unless the eastern states have a unique form of that activity. I was pleased to see the pushy police officer was hoist with her own petard. That was satisfying. A fun read.

Mary Daheim is an artist at most. Her pen is her paint brush; her words are her pictures.Her characters come alive the moment you start reading "Saks & Violins." I had a rough time in the middle, but only to find out that I accidentally skipped two pages (somehow they got stuck together). After figuring out that snafu, her story continued without any flaw.The plot was a development beyond its kind. The characters, even though has their own little flaws, reminded me of some of my family members.Mary Daheim is an outstanding author.

Rudi, a violinist, and his piano-teaching girlfriend, rent a house near Hillside Manor, and antagonize all the neighbors. In an effort to be friendly, Judith Flynn lets Rudi hold a party for a few guests--including three of the bed and breakfast visitors--in her parlor. When one of the guests faints, Judith is guiltily relieved that it's nothing more serious, but a more serious problem is coming. Judith is, unusually, encouraged to investigate by one of the police officers on the case, but the suspects are resistant to her usual charm, and she finds it hard going to get the information she needs.
