Singers and musicians are gathered for a course in folk music that will occupy a weekend in the fantastic country mansion called Follymead. Most come only to sing or to listen, but one or two have non-musical scores to settle. When brilliantly talented Liri Palmer sings "Black, black, black is the color of my true-love's heart!" she clearly has a message for someone in the audience. Passions run high, and there is murder brewing at Follymead.
A folk music course at a remote mansion turns deadly after a woman sings a threatening song to someone in the audience--and Inspector Felse is left to piece together the broken tune of murder. First time in paperback in the USA.

reviewed Black Is the Colour of My True-Love's Heart (George Felse and Family Series #6) on December 29, 2010 Black Is the Colour of My True-Love's Heart (George Felse and Family Series #6)
While most people know Peters' Brother Cadfael series, I think her Inspector Felse series is much better. Freed from the demands of setting a story in a medieval setting, Peters' writing just sings. And listening to it in Simon Prebble's voice--the textbook definition of 'plummy'--is almost a sensuous experience, for those who love language.
Beyond just the writing, Peters creates wonderful characters--and settings--full of depth and nuance. They seem to spring from the earth of the Welsh borderlands with their history full-grown and tantamount. In this one, it's a manor house-turned-cultural center, hosting a weekend seminar on folk music. Every time I hear this recording, I wish I could attend that seminar! (So long as I wasn't the one getting murdered, that is.)
Anyway, a wonderful entry in a wonderful series.
