The Devil’s Harmony is the latest in the Phineas Fox series (with assistance from his girlfriend/fiancée Arabella Tallis). Phineas Fox is a music researcher/historian. You don’t have to read the Fox novels in order, though there are occasional references to past plots and conspiracies.
As is usual with Rayne’s history/mysteries she spins her dark web across several different time-lines, countries and characters – though they often are shown to be linked in ways which become clear as you read on.
The narrative kicks off in Tsarist Russia, in the crucial year of 1918; then the story moves to wartime, Nazi-occupied Warsaw; then to an obscure English village and a life and death meeting with a spinster, Thaisa, who guards deadly secrets. Some of the narrative is told through excerpts from diaries, emails, lost documents, and letters, which is another Rayne motif. There are always deaths and murders, often terrible hideous ways of dying which litter Rayne's novels too in creepy fashion.
