    About this audiobook

    1635: Murder and Music. Music . . . It's been said that musicians live for the next new sound. Well, the musicians of Europe were presented with the biggest new sound ever when the Ring of Fire brought the future back to 1631. What will the court musicians think when they hear Bach, Stravinsky, and the Beatles? What will the street and tavern musicians think when faced with Johnny Cash, Metallica, and Nirvana? Things don't go smoothly for Marla Linder and her friends. And Murder . . . The Thirty Years War was an 'interesting' time to be alive, in the proverbial Chinese curse sense of the word. Then Grantville arrived from the future, bringing technology and philosophies that set European civilization on its ear. But that's not all that came back with Grantville. Imagine trying to establish modern police procedures in a time where neither the powers-that-be nor the people underneath them provide much support. Up-timer Byron Chieske and his down-timer partner Gotthilf Hoch walk some mean streets and lonely roads.

      One of the best in this series. Great insights into the accelerated evolution of music and instruments wrought by the Ring of Fire. The subsequent consequences of the training and performance requirements for such create a compelling tale of the crossover and interactions between the down timers and up timers.The love story between the two very talented major actors in the book provides a lively and dramatic counterpoint for historical developments.
    • 4/5
      A generally enjoyable read.

      Like all short story collections, some stories were better than others, but the main characters were well developed and enjoyable, the stories well written, and the musical jargon slipped in smoothly so a reader without a music background doesn't get lost.

      Stories were divided into two sections, the "Music" section follows Marla Linder, Franz Sylwester, and their friends as they introduce modern music to 1635 Germany. The "Murder" section follows Byron and Gotthilf (can't recall their last names) as they clean of the streets of Magdeburg and, in Byron's case, introduce modern ideas about police and the right of even a lowly beggar to the services of the city's constabulary.

      Of the two I prefer "Music", which has a well developed over-arching storyline that ties together all the various stories, but the stories of "Murder" are well worth reading.

      I'm a bit burnt out on the 1632 Universe, but David Carrico manages to bring some fresh air to an old series.

      fun stories, though they involve two separate plot lines
