About this ebook
Chloe has a devil of a time unraveling the mysteries of Norway's fiddle and dance traditions
After her mother's unexpected death, curator Chloe Ellefson discovers hidden antiques that hint at family secrets. Determined to find answers, Chloe accepts a consultant job in Norway, her ancestors' homeland. She's thrilled with the opportunity to explore Hardanger fiddle and dance traditions . . . and her own heritage.
Once their plane lands, however, Chloe and her fiancé, cop Roelke McKenna, encounter only disharmony. Chloe's research reveals strong women and the importance of fiddle music in their lives. But folklore warns against "the devil's instrument" and old evils may yet linger among the fjords and mountains. As Chloe fine-tunes her search for the truth, a killer's desire to stop her builds to a deadly crescendo.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Norway, historical-research, suspense Disclaimer: we geek history, live in Wisconsin, still have family in Norway, have some pieces of Hardanger and Rosemaling, and love fiddle music (think Greig). At her mother's funeral Chloe is given some information and resources to go back to Norway to fulfill a directive from her mother. Once in Norway Chloe and her beloved become involved in episodes of murder, attempted murder, theft, and some rather frightening psychic episodes in addition to enjoying the beautiful land of the Norse. Of course I loved it! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Midnight Ink via NetGalley. Thank you!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Worst vacation ever!! Well, not quite, but pretty close. Still, the descriptions of Hardanger, Norway, were fascinating, and the plots had me fully engaged. I really appreciated the transitions/connections between the chapters that went from the "present day" to the historical storylines. Also an interesting commentary on how the everyday people of Hardanger felt being studied by ethnologists and other scholars.
