Book 6: "Twisting the Rope" by R. A. MacAvoy
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 18:06The story starts five years after the end of "Tea with the Black Dragon". Martha Macnamara and Mayland Long are approaching the end of a folk music tour of the US, with Mayland acting as tour manager for Martha's band.
At the start of the story I could well understand why Elizabeth Macnamara had always found her mother's friends so annoying, since the other musicians are a motley crew. However the story soon develops into a mystery concerning the sudden death of a musician and the strange behaviour of Martha's three-year-old grand-daughter Marty, who is travelling with the group while her parents do some building work at home.
