Title sounds sensational, isn't it? So did the plot outline at the back cover of the book. And the book is written by the daughter of one of the ex-US presidents, Harry Truman.
But the book brought only disappointment. Sure, it did give a glimpse into the politics (both at the Opera houses as well as DC!) and I came to know about many terms related to the opera. But beyond that, as a murder mystery I felt it failed to deliver the goods in the end. The plot of assassinating key US personalities in a so-called novel way sounded naive at the best!
Though Margaret Truman has 20+ books to her credit I doubt if I will ever pick any one of her murder mysteries in future.
