Summary: terrific read...
Review: i have read several of the f kellerman novels, and this was very good. peter/rina and their family continue to develop (esp the interaction with the teenage sons); the new female police officer character gets a lot of attention and is very heroic; the cult angle seemed authentic. a great summer read.

Summary: Disappointing Kellerman effort....
Review: As nice as it was to revisit Peter Decker and his growing family, it was disappointing to note that Faye Kellerman, one of my favorites, failed to achieve her past excellence in her latest endeavor. The cosmological discourses seemed awkward and inappropriate. The multiplicity of sub-plots proved quite distracting- and a meaningful clue was overlooked at the murder scene. Tsk, tsk.

Summary: Decker and Marge race against every parent's nightmare.
Review: Once again Ms. Kellerman takes her favorite team to the limits of human tolerance and understanding. Slowly they unwind the maze of leads and dead ends. Again we wonder if they will get there in time. And once again we are faced with the reality of falling somewhere in the middle. We see how evil a human's core can be and how some can rise so far above the seemingly impossible barriers to triumph.

Summary: Not as good as other Faye Kellerman Books
Review: I love Faye Kellerman --- and I feel I know the Deckers---but this book was a little bit of a disappointment. The story seemed contrived and didn't do justice to the things that make her books sing for me (i.e., details about how Peter learns to deal with his stepfamily) but it was still good reading. Just somewhat "light" in terms of other books by Kellerman.

Summary: Disappointing and boring.
Review: Having enjoyed Kellerman's previous books, I eagerly bought this book to take on vacation. I started it before my trip and was so disappointed and bored with all the preaching about cults, physics,and parental angst that I left it home unfinished and took another book. It appeared to me that Kellerman had several "agendas" in writing this book. She wanted to vent about the evil ways of cults, spout off about science, and expound on a myriad of other themes. The plot was secondary and the characters barely played a part in the story. I have always enjoyed the characters of Rina and Peter and the books that revolve around their relationship. This book was a total disappointment. In the future I'll just wait until I can check her book out at the library so I can return it unfinished and not have spent my money or time on it.

Summary: Excellent! One of the best yet!
Review: One of the first reviews i read about this book said it was not very good, but i really have to disagree. As with most of the others Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus books, i could not put this one down. Ms. Kellerman did a great job explaining the astrophysics parts of the books, and the action was first rate. A must read for all Faye Kellerman readers!!

Summary: Best one yet!
Review: The thriller/mystery plot is scary enough to keep you turning the page, and the interactions between Pete Decker and his step-sons are so right-on. Ms Kellerman continues to show the growth of this family, with all of the issues that make up their life. I have grown to care about the Deckers, and Pete's anger and pain when the boys revel their secret to him are feelings every parent will identify with. I feel like Oliver Twist: "More Plese"!

Summary: Thank you for returning to Peter and Rina
Review: I read this in a single afternoon and was so grateful to the author for not killing off one of the main characters [as seems to be all the style in current long running series!] that I almost didn't care about anything else! While I agree that there was a bit too much physics involved--it's been a long time since grad school--the characters were honest in their development--I would like to see a bit more about Decker's "big girl" in another book and how about Rina leaving the house and involving herself more in Peter's professional life? But these are my own personal wishes. If perhaps "Jupiter's Bones" is not a great book, it is a very good book, written by an author who has not lost interest in her characters and has provided her long time readers a welcome return to familiar ground. The plot is tight, the ending doesn't disappoint and hopefully Margie will find some happiness as a foster mother.

Summary: disappointing
Review: Having read all the others, I was looking forward to a new Peter/Rina mystery. What I found instead was a boring, dull story which I didn't bother to finish. I think the author is running out of steam with her main characters and they are becoming very one-note.

Summary: Spellbinding
Review: Only great mystery novels like Kellerman produces can tear me away from my first love, historical fiction. My nose is usually buried in books like "The Triumph and the Glory" or Ken Follett or Jack Higgins stuff. But I'm an avid reader of Patricia Cornwell and Mary Higgins Clark, and Faye Kellerman too, and thoroughly enjoy her creations, Decker and Lazarus. "Jupiter's Bones" is her best so far, read it!
