Here are a few choice blurbs from an iberkshires review of Spring Break that just came out today!

'Elias is a master storyteller/novelist, who has published six thrillers – all combining his love of music with a fabulously crafted fiction style to create an unusual, original and gripping series of mysteries.

'"Spring Break," possesses writing with equal verve and narrative skill; the adventures of the curmudgeonly and semi-jaded violinist/detective, Daniel Jacobus, are as engaging as ever.

'"Spring Break" is wonderfully and imaginatively conceived, written and plotted, and is a joy to read. The action never flags; its fast pace and crisp dialog make this tale of murder and power a real page-turner.

'Writing such as this is, musically, masterful; it is completely honest and shockingly brutal.

'This book is more than being about music, and Elias has much to say about society's ills, both general and specific, and most importantly, about the price young musicians feel they often must pay to achieve recognition and fame in the rarified, and sometimes, immoral world of classical music.

'For a great, late summer read, order your copy of "Spring Break."'
