    <body><![CDATA[What happened to this series? My sister Kerry got me started on these books, and while she always enjoyed them more than I have, at least they were interesting, if frustrating, mysteries. This latest installment---? The main characters barely appear, except for Peter, and he's gone boring. The mystery characters are a confusing bunch of would be musicians and music producers, almost impossible to keep straight, and completely impossible to really care about. The one interesting man, the mentally ill ex-band member who transforms into a functioning human being only when holding and playing his guitar gets short shrift indeed, and I, as the reader, was so disgusted as to fling the book aside at one point, wailing about why we should believe God cares what time of day we run the dishwasher??? I know, I know...don't disrespect a belief system you don't understand...What I do understand is when a really good writer lets a good series go flat, and starts coasting along on their reputation.]]></body>
