The Musician's Daughter

by Susanne Dunlap


This month we read a young adult mystery which everyone found suspenseful and enjoyable. Most of us agreed that although the story lacked depth it was still a quick, fun read. One member of the group commented on how well the author related the music scenes. She made a great analogy with our last book in terms of how well Verghese described the surgical scenes, easy to understand even for the layperson. There was not a tremendous amount of discussion about this book, partly because of its simple nature and partly because of the noise level at the restaurant - it was difficult to hear people across the table.


Our meeting spot this month was Squatters Pub in Salt Lake City. It was fun to venture out of Bountiful to 'the city' for a night. The only drawback was the noise level, we were amazed at how crowded it was on a Monday night! Good thing the food was delicious, it definitely made up for any noise issues.
