Bellweather Rhapsody

"Delightfully odd . . . Racculia, clearly a fan of Agatha Christie, stuffs the Bellweather with a fine cast of mistfits, dreamers and foes." —Entertainment Weekly, Grade: A Fifteen years ago, a murder-suicide in room 712 rocked the grand old Bellweather Hotel and the young bridesmaid who witnessed it, Minnie Graves. Now hundreds of high school musicians have gathered in the hotel's cavernous halls for the annual Statewide festival; Minnie has returned to face her demons; and a colossal snowstorm is threatening to trap them all in the hotel. When a young prodigy goes missing from infamous room 712, the search for her entwines an eccentric cast of conductors and caretakers, failures and stars, teenagers on the verge and adults trapped in memories. A genre-bending page-turner from a writer to watch. "[A] deliciously dark confection of a novel, and one of the most thoroughly enjoyable books I've read in years." —Celeste Ng, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere "Funny and exuberant, twisty and captivating. Racculia tells the truth here, about art and life and the many trajectories that talent can take. . . . For its darkness and its glee, I loved this novel." —Robin Sloan, New York Times–bestselling author of Mr. Penumbra's twenty-four-Hour Bookstore
