I kind of had forgotten about it, and I finally picked it up last year, and it made it to my best books of the year.
The Violin Conspiracy (2022)
Ray McMillian loves playing the violin more than anything, and nothing will stop him from pursuing his dream of becoming a professional musician. Not his mother, who thinks he should get a real job, not the fact that he can't afford a high-caliber violin, not the racism inherent in the classical music world. And when he makes the startling discovery that his great-grandfather's fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, his star begins to rise. Then with the international Tchaikovsky Competition—the Olympics of classical music—fast approaching, his prized family heirloom is stolen. Ray is determined to get it back. But now his family and the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray's great-grandfather are each claiming that the violin belongs to them. With the odds stacked against him and the pressure mounting, will Ray ever see his beloved violin again?
part of me thinks that would be so interesting to read together but also I don't know I'm giving it a s out of 10
I read his debut novel The Violin conspiracy a few months ago loved it
I liked elements of this book, but overall, I just found it unsuccessful.
