Summary
From the award-winning, bestselling author of Station Eleven and Sea of Tranquility, “a gripping story, full of moral ambiguities, where deception and betrayal become the norm, and where the expression ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma’ is lifted to new heights” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
Everyone Anton Waker grew up with is corrupt. His parents dealt in stolen goods, and he was a successful purveyor of forged documents until he abandoned it all in his early twenties, determined to live a normal life, complete with career, apartment, and a fiancée who knows nothing of his criminal beginnings. He’s on the verge of finally getting married when Aria—his cousin and former partner in crime—blackmails him into helping her with one last job.
Anton considers the task a small price for future freedom. But as he sets off for an Italian honeymoon, it soon becomes clear that the ghosts of his past can't be left behind so easily, and that the task Aria requires will cost him more than he could ever imagine.
Look for Emily St. John Mandel’s bestselling new novel, Sea of Tranquility!

Fantastic story of crime and love
Morgan has a knack for capturing characters perfectly. The difference in speech is subtle and not over done, allowing you to see the character in your mind's eye. Allowing you to understand the character.
The pace was spot on and the time taken to describe a scene gives this book those extra stars.
Emily caught my attention in her other book Station 11 and going back to this book was no disappointment. Her ability to jump between points in time so effortlessly just makes her writing even better.
Pick this up, you'll definitely enjoy it.

Another one for the TV
I love Emily's books. This will make a great TV series. Station11 already set the scene.

Emily, I am so glad I found you!
I was more than enthousiastic about 'The Lola Quartet' and now I ran out of words. Mrs. Mandel is a genius and I can not say she is wasting her talent on crime stories. Crime stories must be written with such sensibility and skill and equilibrium. Simply unforgottable. Even if the criminal family is mostly unprobable and Broadway-like. But it doesn't spoil a bit, believe me. With 'The Singer's Gun' you reach emotional depths you never expected from a suspense. I think it made me richer and sophisticated in a way (even if my ortography remains the same) My only fear: there is one more audio to listen by the author, 'Last Night in Montreal'. What next?
Narrator was quite OK. I suppose it would work even with a generated voice, but Miss Morgan and Mrs. Mandel made a rather lucky encounter. Bravo.

Remarkably dull romance masquerading as a caper.
The narrator did as well as possible with the unexceptional material. Otherwise this is strictly for romance fans. Not my cup of tea and not what I was expecting based on previous books.
