Book Description:
In the bleak wasteland of the Nevada desert, not far from the sparkling, 24-hour neon of the world famous Las Vegas Strip, the body of a once-beautiful showgirl is discovered, horribly mauled and mutilated. It is a horrendous crime, shocking in its brutality, excessive even for a city celebrated for its excess. Seasoned police veteran and Vegas native Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe has seen his fair share of depravity in this mecca of glitz and vice. But there is something about this unfortunate young woman's death -- and in a similar murder that is to follow soon after -- that harkens back to an unsolved slaying and so-called suicide a quarter-century ago. The grim similarities -- along with some frightening new possibilities -- are leading Poe into a night world of dark shadows best left unilluminated..and pulling the inquisitive policeman toward secrets from a strange and sordid past that could destroy those closest to him, and drag him over the edge.

Excellent read! Plot takes place in Las Vegas with Detective Sergeant Romuolus Poe (and his brother and mother!). I loved this book because of the wild twist toward the middle of the book.

This is the first of Faye Kellerman's books that I have read and I really enjoyed it, but it isn't one of her Peter Decker Rina Lazarus novels. This one is about Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe.

In the bleak wasteland of the Nevada desert, not far from the sparkling 24-hour neon of the world famous Las Vegas Strip, the body of a once-beautiful showgirl is discovered, horribly mauled and mutilated.

But there is something about this ufortunate young woman's death---and a similar murder that is to follow soon after---that harkens back to an unsolved slaying and so-called suicide a quarter century ago. The grim similarities---along with some frightening new possibilites--are leading Poe into a night world of dark shadows best left unilluminated...and pulling the inquisitive policeman toward secrets from a strange and sordid past that could destroy those closest to him, and drag him over the edge.

The ending is not what you might expect!!

One of my favorite mystery writers. Her characters are always well fleshed out with incredible detail in an easy read package.

This is not a Decker/Lazarus novel but rather all different characters & set in Las Vegas. I liked it.

I'm a huge fan of both Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, so I was excited to read this book. I was a little skeptical that I would like it when I found out it wasn't a Decker/Lazarus series. But I loved the characters and the story line. I hope Rom, Remus and everyone else return in future novels.

In the Nevada desert the body of a beautiufl showgirl is discovered, horribly mauled and mutilated. Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe realizes this murder is similar to another murder.

If you're looking for a suspenseful murder mystery with a lot of action, filled out characters and a solid plot, Moon Music is it. Just enough blood and guts to make it fun!
