The Mozart Conspiracy
(2010)(The second book in the Theresa Schurman Mystery series)
A novel by Susanne Dunlap
A murder. A disappearing body. A mysterious building where strange ceremonies take place. And someone wants to make sure Mozart’s opera never sees the light of day.
Theresa Schurman leads a double life, as a sweet, young Viennese girl from a respectable family, and as a the professional violinist Thomas Weissbrot, who performs in pickup orchestras throughout the Vienna of Haydn and Mozart. When she stumbles on a murder on her way home from one of her gigs in disguise, she becomes involved in a complex conspiracy that rocks the musical world. With the help of her captivating friend, the Gypsy Mirela, she struggles to tie all the complex threads together and solve a mystery involving the handsome, enigmatic Captain von Bauer and the up-and-coming Amadé Mozart. Will her double life—and her budding romance with the dreamy Zoltan—prevent her from succeeding?
The highly anticipated sequel to award-nominated The Musician’s Daughter
Praise for The Musician’s Daughter:
“… this book is a rip-roaring adventure with music, murder, and espionage. It's clearly well researched, and the level of detail in the narrative makes readers believe that this story might have actually happened. Theresa's first-person narrative reveals her to be a quick-thinking, courageous, and likable individual.” – School Library Journal
“…a gutsy, sympathetic heroine who remains true to her friends, in a fast-paced historical adventure that offers a hint of romance.” – Kirkus Elizabeth Silver's Reviews
“...Dunlap skillfully builds suspense until the final page, as Theresa follows clues through smoky Gypsy camps and opulent palace halls, sustained by her desire to uphold her father’s values: ‘justice, fairness—and most of all music.’ Readers will root for courageous Theresa through the exciting intrigue even as they absorb deeper messages about music and art’s power to lift souls and inspire change.” –Booklist
