Douglas Boyd’s novel The Fiddler and the Ferret [ISBN 0 7515 2186 8] is not a bad read, even though the plot is rather contrived and the action messy – things are all over the place, and though one can’t expect plots, like life, to be logical, a dog-leg novel is irritating at times. Having said that it does move along keeping the reader guessing, so not too much to complain about.

Irving Bradley’s violin teacher is killed in a hit and run accident, and at her funeral, he asks his estranged father (requested in her will to be at the funeral) Ken Scott, to find out about her killer. A picture was left to them both in her will and later Irving is offered a priceless Stradivarius for it – all this makes Ken very suspicious and tracks back through the teacher’s past to find out the provenance of the painting and the reason behind the growing threat to Ken and Irving.
