I received this book from the author, and from Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock.The Luthier's Apprentice is about Emma, a girl with emerging magical talents and her group of friends who suddenly find themselves sleuthing there way into the middle of the case of the missing violinists. In the beginning I found this book really difficult to get into, the writing was very stiff. The book was quite a deep read, but I did come away with quite the education on violins, and violinists. The author was also able to create a great secondary world, her description having a somewhat physical effect on me. The book had a lot of references to Sherlock Holmes, but I found it to be more Nancy Drew.While this book wasn't one I would want to read more of, I was a huge Nancy Drew fan when I was younger, and I think for the younger avid reader this would be a good book.  I'm giving it 3.5 fangs.
