Comments on the clue
1.Very nice – full marks. A Steve Randall clue?
2.Kennedy connection is done well
3.Merit. A nice clue, but an empty gun can hardly shoot a person.
4.Nice story on surface but there are too many violinists to define by example in my opinion.
5.Excellent surface reading, together with nicely compact clue
6.Nicely misleading.
