MURDER AT THE OPERA—Margaret Truman—Using the death of a young opera student as a springboard, Margaret Truman weaves a highly unlikely set of circumstances to provide multiple murders as well as a terrorist situation in this latest in her Capital Crimes Series. Ms. Truman also uses this springboard to educate her readers about the Washington National Opera...and a beginning tutorial on Opera and operas. The plot seemed light, characters two dimensional, story weak and name and place and dropping were highly evident. The book would appeal, also, to those into high society, foods, galas, women's planning committees, etc. There is also some question as to whether Ms. Truman writes these books or whether they are written by another. In any event, not my favorite of her mysteries.
