This book wasn't quite what I wanted it to be. I read his Sacred and Profane: A Novel of the Life and Times of Mozart a very long time ago (in my teenage years) and I still remember how much I enjoyed it. So, I was ready to get that same feeling from The Assassination Of Mozart. Unfortunately, David Weiss missed a mark this one. While I still loved reading about Mozart and the people who knew him (I mean, I would probably kill or give my right arm for a chance to have dinner with Beethoven, even a grumpy Beethoven), the whole plot of the novel didn't really make a lot of sense to me. It was still unclear as to why Jason Otis was soo damn determined to figure out the truth of his death, why, after so many years after his death, supposedly the Austrian police and the government are so against him even talking to people who knew Mozart. It just didn't make sense.
