At times, a fast read, while at others the book moves slow.

Truly like the descriptive words relating to music and Jazz. Mr. Mike and Mr. Rum met on a flight headed to New Orleans. They find hey have a connection, in their histories.

Mr. Rum plays Jazz and the music ties them together.

Truly enjoyed, must read.
