Excellent all around
Great listen. The narrator makes this fun, musically referenced and mystery challenging book a delight. The story takes place at the US Festival in the early 80’s and a lot of classic bands were playing and there are some inside stories told. But, the main story is a backstage mystery that had me stumped. This series is skillfully written with much humor and insight into the human condition. Terrificseries.

A trip down music and love lane
David Unger was able to help me imagine what I missed at Woodstock in the 60's with his in-depth knowledge of brilliant song writers and performers along with the groupies and the drugs that held us together in a time we questioned everything.
If you are a fan of Hunter Thompson, Jackson Browne, The Dead or any rock music, along with fantasies of romance you will love this mystery.
As a therapist, I enjoyed the character of David using known therapeutic techniques to gather information while joining with the cast of characters....techniques that also work to get closer with a love interest.
The book is a fun and an easy read as the clues unfold. Enjoy!
