From Publishers Weekly:
Inspector Bill Slider, last seen in Death to Go, confirms his place among those intelligent fictional British coppers whose presence guarantees a satisfying read. After Sir Stefan Radek, conductor of the Royal London Philharmonic, is fatally shot during a rehearsal, Slider suspects this case will be a "domestic," resolved by looking into the widowed maestro's personal life. Within the music community, Radek was considered arrogant, vindictive and a mediocre conductor. The only one who seems truly bereaved is the victim's personal servant, Arthur "Buster" Keaton. Slider, recently abandoned by both his wife and his lover Joanna, a Philharmonic violinist, probes the affairs of Radek's daughter, Fay Coleraine, and is sufficiently charmed to root for her innocence. Fay's husband, however, a solicitor who is (at most) no more honest than he needs to be, and their son, who is, according to Keaton, "turning out wild," make credible suspects. After nabbing the shooter, Slider senses that something about catching the right man is itself wrong, as wrong as his estrangement from Joanna. To the remaining question-Can the fallible man put things, personal and professional, right?-Harrod-Eagles offers an intricate, credible reply.

From Booklist:
Inspector Bill Slider returns in fine fettle. Just as the Royal London Philharmonic is about to start rehearsal, the famous conductor Sir Stefan Radek drops dead on the podium, shot by a mysterious stranger. Slider and his charming partner Atherton get the case and quickly discover that there is no lack of suspects due to the widely held opinion that Sir Stefan was nasty, vindictive, and generally despicable--a view even shared by his family. All of this makes for a juicy and complex plot, well flavored with police-procedural details. There are human-interest details, too, as the orchestra's deputy principal violinist is Joanna, the woman Slider would have left his wife for had his wife not left him first. The struggle over Slider and Joanna's resuming their relationship provides the enjoyable subplot. Well populated with engaging characters and extremely well plotted, Grave Music establishes Bill Slider as one of the best of contemporary British police detectives. Stuart Miller
