Publisher Description

“Rose raises the stakes for her ensemble until events come to an excruciatingly tense crescendo.” — People magazine [A People Book Pick] As a child, Meer Logan was haunted by bizarre memories and faint strains of elusive music. Now a strange letter beckons her to Vienna, promising to unlock the mysteries of her past. With each step, she comes closer to remembering connections between a clandestine reincarnationist society, Beethoven’s lost flute and journalist David Yalom. David knows loss firsthand — terrorism took his entire family. Now, beneath a concert hall in Vienna, he plots a violent wake-up call to illustrate the world’s need for true security. Join international bestselling author M. J. Rose in her unforgettable novel about a woman paralyzed by the past, a man robbed of his future and a secret centuries old.

"Very intriguing story line that takes you through different characters, spanning different time periods. The story line continues to build until the book beautifully comes together at the end. Highly recommend it. "

    — Chicago Sun-Times

    " Really good book! Now, I'm quite curious and want to read the first one =) Plus, I want to go to Vienna!!! "

    " Well. This certainly went better than The Reincarnationist, but there is still something lacking in the author's ability to weave the story (with the multiple characters and twined plots and flashbacks) into an engrossing and coherent tale. Too often I got lost in what was happening - I forgot whose flashback belonged to whom, and missed steps in the 'mystery', as it was. I will say that I enjoyed the drama of this book more than the first. I especially enjoyed the touches of many people experiencing 'past life regressive episodes', not just the key characters from the text. I'm excited for the third of the series, as I've heard it to be the best, but I wish there was a more developed description of the science, a better insight into these characters, and some way for the author to push these novels out of the 'good try' category and into the 'great read' category. "

    " A different and interesting read. Skillfully woven between several lifetimes and exploring reincarnation in a mystery setting. "

    " This was an interesting book, but definitely a whole lot of characters to keep track of. I tried describing it to a friend of mine and left her confused. The plot revolves around a character who keeps remembering a piece of music that bothers her. Especially since she can't really remember how the tune goes. Her father is convinced that the she is experiencing memories of a previous life. Other reviews I've read also state that the book is convoluted. Between characters who are alive and characters who are dead (Beethoven is one of them), and memories of those dead characters, you almost need a score card to keep track of everybody. That said, I did want to keep reading to see how things were going to turn out. "

    " I tried very hard to read this book but couldn't make it. It follows so many books of this type which keep taking the reader from one cliff hanger to another and in the end, nothing is revealed or solved. Sort of like Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. I know, I know it's heretical for me to make such a statement but that's the way it goes. "

    " Good middle. Didn't love the end... Reincarnation a major theme, which I don't believe in (resurrection, immortality, and eternal life-yes. Reincarnation-no). Still a pretty good suspense/thriller. "

    " Oh dear, and here's another one I had to quit on. I bought the Kindle version, which I tend to read late at night in bed, and way too much back-and-forthing was required for me to grock all the players, places, and times. I couldn't just settle in and take up the storyline. "

    " This is a story about the search for a magic flute and a melody that brings past life memories to the fore. It was slow reading at first, but I'm glad I finished it. I haven't read the author's first novel, The Reincarnationist, but it's possible that this book is a sequel. Correct me if I'm wrong. "

    " A nice follow-up to The Reincarnationist, however, it's not necessary to read the first book to enjoy this one. Though connected, each is its own story. "

    " Like the first one in this series, this is a decent beach read. Good plot, but lacking in plausibility. The writing style is adequate but not memorable. I'm sure someonen has optioned this series for a movie already; the books sometimes seem to be written with an eye to movie scenes. "
