am well into this book, and it's a great read. an interesting combination of art, tech, and place. i came across this by chance, and am glad of it.
paid $1 here; should be 10 times that, really. my only disappointment (and not the author's fault): the kindle edition (not sure about paper) is full of typos, some other errors. sloppy, but...not letting it ruin the read. look forward to more from this author.

EDIT: am still reading this, and there are a LOT of typos. bad spelling, words out of place; shame, really. but still a great read, which is the most important part...

In Over Her Head Elsie Russell 9781435722279 Books Reviews

This is an incredibly fun book to read and hard to put down once you start. For those of us who live and breathe music and art, it is especially wickedly funny - and especially poignantly disturbing. The story takes place in New York, Paris and, for a brief sojourn, in Rome, and the author's intimate knowledge of, and love for these places is overwhelming. I felt like I was there, wherever she took me, the reader. A wonderful first novel from a wonderful experienced painter!
I loved this book. It's a bit of a genre-bender, combining elements of a technology-thriller with those of a dramatic novel. Usually when a writer tries to cross over genres like this, the result is less than the sum of its parts. Not in this case. Russell has produced a work that combines the page-turning excitement and mystery you expect from a top-notch thriller with the fully-realized characters, rich language, and compelling settings that I find are always missing from the cookie-cutter supposed-thrill rides that seem to occupy 90% of shelf space in book stores today.

There's an immediacy to the delivery here, a seemingly-encyclopedic knowledge of the arts fine and pop, and an international feel that can come only from someone who has lived in multiple countries and speaks several languages.

I highly recommend it!
[Note My review also appears under the Editorial Reviews]

Every performance artist wants to knock his/her audience dead, and Penny was no exception - until, that is, she literally knocked several members of the audience at her big recital dead as doornail. She's no Yoko Ono, though; it wasn't the musical performance that was awful. Penny's specialty, you see, was the use of extremely low frequency (ELF) waves. These things have been known to influence a person's mood and feelings, but the last thing Penny expected was to find her career all but ruined by a string of deaths in her ELF music wake. She has been studying her music ever since, living an isolated life of self-imposed exile, trying to unlock the secrets of her unique art form. Her life changes again after one of her neighbors disappears, and Penny finds herself in Europe trying to find the missing woman. Strangely enough, though, everything that happens seems to relate back in some way to her ELF wave music and research.

In Over Her Head definitely has the makings of a good suspense novel full of intrigue and mystery. The subject of ELF waves is actually quite relevant, as the military has conducted its own research into the possibility of using ELF waves on the battlefield to incapacitate the enemy. The story also calls to mind Lovecraft's story The Music of Erich Zann, especially in terms of the strange power certain pieces of music seem to unleash from within themselves. As long as the search for Penny's missing neighbor doesn't devolve into something silly or tiresome, I have to believe that In Over Her Head is a novel quite deserving of an audience.
