Rating: 4.0 – an interesting twist on Phantom of the Opera
Opinion: This was an interesting book. I enjoy the Phantom of the Opera book, play, and movie. This book was an interesting take on that. It takes place after the events of the original book, and during the rest of Christine’s life. I enjoyed that there were different mysteries to solve with different characters. And that they were all brought together to solve a mystery together. The only think I didn’t love about the book was that it was a dense read. It was written closer to the style of the original book. So it took me a little longer to read, but it’s not a big deal. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves historical fiction, mystery, and fantasy.
