Review:

Wolf Tones is a story about the dark side of relationships, lust, power and control. It follows classical musician, Rolf, who gets his chance at his dreams with the Salzburg City Orchestra. He and his girlfriend, Leonor, whom he credits with his star rising move to Salzburg so Rolf can take up his position as cellist. However, his relationship with Leonor is far from idyllic. She is incredibly controlling and quite possibly more dangerous than he realises.

It took me a little while to get into Wolf Tones but there are a lot of aspects of it I liked. I found the musical side of things incredibly interesting. The inner workings of an orchestra and the dedication of its musicians was a fascinating look into an area I know very little about. In addition I think that this book highlights the important fact that, although much less common, women can also be abusers in relationships. It also took some twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting. Not completely my kind of thing unfortunately but I think many will really enjoy it so I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!
