A small town is plagued by mysterious disappearances. Some think to blame a wandering musician with a curious attachment to her violin, and while the young fiddle-player has something to do with the events, it's not quite how the good people would expect...
This novella struck me as unique from the first page. I rank it as one of the best-written novellas that I've ever read. It's creative, original, and vividly written.
The book, though short, kept me reading all the way through and looking around for more. Getty is a good writer who uses the language extremely well to paint images in the reader's mind.
