Black is the Colour of My True Love's Heart

Set at a folk music seminar during the late sixties, this mystery takes its twisted title from an old English ballad. Folk music enthusiasts have gathered at an eerie Gothic estate for instruction, concerts and, tragically, murder. Inspector Felse investigates the case surrounded by a colorful set of characters as handsome, doomed and heroic as any who appear in the old songs. Simon Prebble narrates this story masterfully, always striking the right note and carrying the listener to the story's all too inevitable conclusion. D.L.G.
