After reading some other reviews, I can see many people didn't like the main character, due to his quirky ability to hear concertos in his head. I actually like this detail. It makes him a highly unique character-and a memorable one at that. If you don't know the music he's describing, I would suggest YouTube. It really brings the story to life!

Murder Mezzo Forte has a pretty great pace with not many pages lagging in action, or feeling like fillers. I enjoy Taylor's writing style, and I'm interested in checking out his other books (which the covers suggest to have a military theme) like The Lazarus File or Deadly Additive. I think all of Donn Taylor's works would be great gifts for the special guys in your life too!
