Descriptions du produit

From Library Journal

For the musically inclined or those just interested in a good mystery, Langton provides a Homer Kelly title centered on a suspicious fire that destroys the First Church of the Commonwealth's pipe organ and incinerates the church sexton as well. More problems arise with construction of a new instrument. Line drawings accompany the author's crisp prose and musical allusions.

From AudioFile

Resounding organ music introduces this entertaining Homer Kelly mystery about the installation of a new organ, replacing one destroyed by fire, in a posh Boston church. An abandoned baby, its missing mother, accusations of paternal child abuse and vandalism in other churches are among the many interwoven subplots laid out for the listener. King does a fine job differentiating between voices in character and gender. The technical aspects of "voicing" a new organ are explained well. There's some difficulty in recognizing changes of scene or flashbacks, but attentive listening will overcome this. M.M.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Divine Read, Avril 15 2004
Par Marian Loreti (Annapolis, MD) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The hero of "Divine Inspiration" is an organist who is "voicing" a new organ just installed in a church damaged by a mysterious fire. He befriends a toddler who is making his way up the steps of the church one day, then locates the baby's home and discovers that the fatherless child's mother - herself an accomplished organist - is mysteriously missing. Our hero falls in love with both the child and the child's mother, whom he has never met except through her photos and mementoes in the baby's home.

Jane Langton's delightful Homer Kelly mysteries are just what the doctor ordered for a rainy afternoon. What makes these books special are, of course, her charming line drawings, her spellbinding plots, and her humor, which has a Dickensian ability to expose the pompous, the greedy, the pretentious. What distinguishes the Langton mysteries (apart from the line drawings) is that you always come away from them having learned something - in this case, all about organs, which was of particular interest to me. "Divine Inspiration" is a divine read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great Characters + Great Plot = Great Book, Avril 2 2004
Par MZ (Novinger, MO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Divine Inspiration (Hardcover)
I was a bit reluctant to begin this Homer Kelly mystery - my third (after getting hooked with Escher Twist and then Dark Nantucket Noon). The reason for my reluctance was the subject matter - churches and organists. Sounded boring. I know very little about either of those things and couldn't imagine wanting to learn more.

Well, once I started reading, I couldn't put this book down! I loved the characters (Rosie, Alan, Pip, Charlie, Harold Oates, Barbara Inch, even Debbie Buffington), and I was completely taken by surprise at the end -- yet it all added up so perfectly.

In addition, I must mention once again that the illustrations really add to the book, especially with the look of the organs and the architecture. Because they are created by the author, they give a great insight into her perception as she is writing, yet she never reveals so much that your own imagination of the happenings is affected.

Kudos to another fine mystery by Jane Langton! I will be returning to the library for another Homer Kelly mystery ASAP.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Cozy at it's finest, Mai 10 1998
Par Un client
Another wonderful book from Jane Langton. One of my favorite "cozy" mystery writers. She writes with a decidedly eccentric quirkiness that makes her books stand out from the crowd. Full of irony, and loving touches, her books are 1990's quaint without being old fashioned. She spins a lovely web.
