Somebody Elses Music: A Gregor
Demarkian Novel (Gregor Demarkian
Novels) by Jane Haddam
About Time
Jane Haddams stylishly written novels featuring Gregor Demarkian, retired
chief of the FBIs Behavioral Sciences Unit, have thrilled and delighted an
ever-increasing number of readers over the years. Now, with Somebody
Elses Music, Haddam delivers her most compelling crime novel to date - a
brilliant exploration of how the past affects the present and the twisted
workings of human psyche.Elizabeth Toliver, now an acclaimed author
with a rock star lover, was a too-smart, fashion-impaired teen who was the
target of abuse from a circle of popular high school girls. The abuse
escalated until one summer night she was nailed into an outhouse with
over twenty snakes and, while she beat herself into a coma trying to
escape, a local teenage boy was murdered just outside. Still haunted by
nightmares of that night, Toliver returns to her hometown for the first time
in almost 30 years, triggering a deadly chain of events.

Personal Review: Somebody Elses Music: A Gregor Demarkian
Novel (Gregor Demarkian Novels) by Jane Haddam
First, a rebuttal to the two reviewers who hated this novel. I read mystery
novels for fun. If I do not like a novel, I don't even bother to finish reading it.
Why waste time allocated to having fun on something that is just not fun for
you? Apparently two of the reviewers did just that..and then wrote
scathing reviews of the novel that both include personal attacks on the
author. Take their reviews with a grain of salt -- no, make that 6 cups of
salt.This novel is about the tormenting of classmates that goes on in
schools -- a very timely topic considering recent school violence such as
that at Columbine. At the core of this novel are the emotional scars left on
both the victims and the perpetrators of school bullying. I found this book
deeply moving. There is less humor in this novel than in some of Haddam's
other Gregor Demarkian novels, but there is more humanity.
