Series: Gregor Demarkian # 18
Jane Haddam has written 17 previous classic mysteries featuring Gregor
Demarkian and Bennis Hannaford. This latest edition is so much more than a
continuation of a wonderful series. People who behave this way in real
life will undoubtedly refuse to recognize their characterizations, but I
have to say, this is a completely "gut-wrenching" story, so intense that I
needed periodic breaks just to convince myself that it WAS fiction.

"Somebody Else's Music" is the story of Elizabeth Toliver, once an outcast now a noted author, who returns to the town where she was raised to face the people who made her childhood a recurring nightmare . . . except that Elizabeth still has nightmares. Of course, there is a mystery to be solved, with Gregor and Bennis in attendance. As delightful as I always find Gregor and Bennis and their interactions that are such a compelling facet of Jane's series, they are not the story this time. This story faces the past and rips the cover-up away.

For every man, woman or child who has ever been the target of a bully: face them off, SEE them for what they are, and fling YOUR veil into a fountain
