| Summary: |
This title offers an engrossing look at the interplay between crime and music. Crime has formed the basis of countless plots in music theater and opera. Several famous composers were murder victims or believed to be murdered, and one of the greatest Renaissance composers slaughtered his wife and her lover. In "Musical Mysteries", renowned true crime historian Albert Borowitz turns his attention to the long and complex history of music and crime |
