This award is so unexpected. It seems, as part of Feathered Quill&#8217;s yearly awards, each of their reviewers selects just one book from all the books they&#8217;ve reviewed the previous year: a book that has stayed with them long after they finished reading it, a book that registers high on the list of their favorite books. And Rhapsody in Black: An Elena del Carral Mystery was selected!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why my cozy mystery was awarded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong><em>Rhapsody in Black<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra&nbsp;wins my Reviewer&#8217;s Choice award. This mystery\/thriller novella is a riveting tale set in the ballet theater in New York City. The characters are memorable; the plot moves with grace and ease, and the ending is as surprising as it is satisfying. This is a book that stays with a reader long after its&nbsp;ending.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wow. This is the best advance birthday gift EVER!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you Feathered Quill.
