Summary: A mostly successful experiment.
Comment: "Moon Music" offers a welcome change of pace for Faye Kellerman, with an interesting (if sparsely drawn) cast of characters. Although the killer's identity becomes fairly clear not long into the story (notwithstanding some red herrings along the way), it's an entertaining read--right up to the ending, when it morphs into an episode of the X-Files.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a jarring transition out of the otherwise straightforward murder mystery format. And it leaves you wondering just how much influence TV might have had on the plot development--the autopsying coroner recalls the Scully character and the misfit detective rings a little of Mulder. No doubt that resemblence is a coincidence, but one that wouldn't have come to mind at all if the book hadn't so sharply turned to the supernatural, with no answers given to the puzzles raised by the ending.

Summary: No Redeeming Value
Comment: I wonder if Ms. Kellerman was hoping to make up for lack of a plot through the use of very foul language, poor taste and strange characters with no redeeming value? Come on, now, girlfriends who encourage their lovers to go get satisfaction from prostitutes and manage to keep smiling while doing his dirty laundry? I thought this was a detective novel, not science fiction! This was my first experience reading a Faye Kellerman novel. Unfortunately, it will probably be my last. Very disappointing. : (

Summary: A Disappointing Book
Comment: I have always enjoyed Faye Kellerman's books up until this one. I admire her writing, and her plots stay at least within the realm of possibility (probably not all happening to one couple as in Decker/Lazarus, though). But Moon Music strays too far into the metaphysical. If I want sci-fi I'll buy a book in that genre. I don't want it in my detective novels.
