Emil Ganz was always extraordinary. Child genius. Prize-winning astrophysicist. And then, aged 40, missing person. A decade later he re-emerges as Jupiter, guru of an apocalyptic new age cult, bringing shame on his family, worrying local parents and intriguing Detective Pete Decker. But when he's found dead, apparently from an overdose, the consequences of his death are even more extraordinary, and terrifying, than of his life ...

Weird ending makes no sense

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

This was a great book with lots of tension and excitement. What the heck happened to the ending? Jupiter was committed by his wife and zonked out on Thorazine?? No way this made sense. Jupiter was an obvious schizophrenic. So was my husband voices and weird imaginary friends and all. Haloperidol, fluphenazine, and chlorpromazine are known as conventional, or typical, antipsychotics and have been used to treat schizophrenia for years. Thorazine is for patients who are either a danger to others or themselves. It literally turns you into a zombie. It also affects you for the rest of your life.
Kellerman should have done better research. The ending was such an anticlimactic mess I can't even discuss it.

A little stereotyped, a little predictable.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

Okay, really, to be bluntly honest: it's a lot of stereotype and very predictable.

Bear in mind, please, I love this series. I read it as much for the stories of the relationship between Decker/Rina and Decker/Rest of the World as I do the mystery and drama. That being said, the cult of crazies and power-seekers in this book is a cookie-cutter motif with all the standard characters you'd expect from a "cult" and all of the bizarre rituals you might want to mock (which I find ironic, given the way that many people in the series - and out - see the rituals of Judaism and its sects) and all the fears about cults the media plays upon. The relationships between Rina and Decker and Decker and his children, the children and Rina, all seem to have hit a tired point as well. There isn't anything new or surprising.

It's possible that the predictable nature of some of the steps in ordinary relationships is part of the natural evolution of the characters, but if I wanted to experience that I don't need to read about it. It's dull.

Add in the feeling you get as you read that things aren't going to end well within the cult, as they usually don't, and the feeling that the relationships between the central characters are going to sort of muddle along without any big changes happening, and it isn't an interesting read.

Would I have skipped it, in hind-sight, knowing how I feel about the series as a whole? No. Was the writing well crafted? Yes. It's the actual story-telling that just falls short - this time. I'm looking forward to reading the next because I expect, and usually get, better.

EXCELLENT CONTINUATION OF THE SERIES

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am in the process of reading the entire Decker/Lazarus series and this book was another excellent read. As each story unfolds the depth and reality of the characters are revealed to the reader. As I have said in other reviews of books in this series, the characters seem like friends and are real enough to walk off of the page. I was deeply touched by the way Decker handled problems experienced by Jake and Sam and how true-to-life his reaction was. I think Hannah is a bit spoiled and is certainly the center of the family's attntion, but that is also true of the youngest child in many families.
The story itself, about a cult led by a brilliant but psychotic man, was interesting though the action was slow at times. In all, it was another excellent book.

I have already purchased the next book in the series for my Kindle and can't wait to start it.

E-Books RULE!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

Having now finished reading, all via e-books on my Kindle 8.9 HDX, Jupiter's Bones, eleventh in the Lazarus/Decker detective series by Faye Kellerman, I know at least two things. Being a member of various, sometimes simultaneously, hardback book clubs over the years did not afford me the incredible opportunity Amazon offers of getting favorite character series on a regular, ordered and immediate basis. Further, I pay less and get to indulge, if I so chose, in binge reading (not to be confused with binge viewing, a far less satisfying habit I assure you). Bottom line: After over 55 years of reading hardback or paperback books, I took the e-reader plunge with the first Kindle Fire. I am now on version 3, the Kindle Fire 8.9 HDX, and wouldn't go back to the non-electronic version even if it were less expensive (which it is NOT!).

This is a book that was impossible to put down. During every reading time I simultaneously felt the suspense, the thrill of following our main characters as they live through stress, both from their personal lives and from the intensity of working a case from beginning, through finding clues as they add up to a coherent and dangerous story with

many mysteries and problems to work with until the multifaceted resolution at the end. I always feel welcome into Peter Decker's and Rina Lazarus's home. I love feeling inclusive in the step by step procedure during the case, sometimes immersing myself in it so completely that if I'm smart enough I may actually use my own detective skills to see the resolution coming before these hard working police men and women do. Faye Kellerman is a genius and a master at telling these suspenseful stories. I'm reading this series in order so I can't wait to start the next one!

This book is largely about cults—not my favorite topic, but definitely a good read. The ending will have you on the edge of your seat!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 10, 2019

This is probably the most involved, intricate and engrossing of the Rina Lazarus/Peter Decker series to date, although Rina plays a more minor role in this tale. The ending, the last 20% or so, goes by in a hurry. A very worthwhile read.
