Sometimes you need to look beyond the two-line blurb

Mostly because I suspect I’m probably the audience for this book:

Bart Schneider’s fourth novel, MINNESOTA ROSE, a contemporary thriller set in Minneapolis and St. Paul, involving a cello playing detective, his estranged psychotherapist wife, and their rock star daughter, to Shaye Areheart at Shaye Areheart Books, in a very nice deal, by Marly Rusoff at Marly Rusoff & Associates (world English).

I mean, shouldn’t all detectives play cello? Even if you have to lug that bastard instrument around everywhere?

Schneider, the author of three previous novels, co-founded the Hungry Mind Review (now known as the Ruminator Review) and now runs Speakeasy Magazine, a lit mag based out of Minnesota.
