Patricia Dolan defines herself by her job as an art historian and her identity as an Irish American. When she is 41, the combination of the two proves explosive, leading her to a rough cottage in West Cork. In Ireland she has for company only her own words, one elderly neighbor, and "The Music Lesson," a beautiful Vermeer executed on wood. As she anticipates the arrival of Mickey, her distant relative and lover, Patricia slowly, tantalizingly reveals the events that have led to her isolation. Before Mickey had appeared one day outside her office at New York's Frick Museum, she had become inured to loss and death, a high-functioning depressive. But her 25-year-old third cousin once removed reawakens her. Alas, his interest is both personal and political, and she is soon involved in a plot to kidnap and ransom the Vermeer, property of the Queen. The painting, she tells herself fervently, "is an instrument of magic. Perhaps now it is also an instrument of change, a talisman, the charm that will force powerful people to pay attention and take decisive action at last."
The Music Lesson is far from your everyday, action-packed IRA saga. Instead, Katharine Weber's second novel is very much like the intimate portrait her heroine so lovingly describes--an exquisite miniature in which images, ideas, and deep emotions keep coming out of the woodwork. --Kerry Fried
Book Description
Patricia Dolan is alone with a stolen Vermeer painting in an Irish cottage by the sea. How she got here is part of the story she tells us: about her father, a Boston cop; the numbing loss of her daughter; and her charming Irish cousin, who has led her to this high-stakes crime.Her vigil becomes a tale of love, regret, and transformation. As Patricia immerses herself in the passions of her Irish heritage, she discovers what has been hidden beneath the surface of her own life--and what she must do to preserve the things she values most.

YOU CAN BE AN ACCOMPLICE IN THIS CAPER..........2007-05-14
The Music Lesson is both the title of this book as well as a painting by Vermeer. For those seeking a reading experience similar to "The Girl with a Pearl Earring", prepare to be disappointed. This is another kind of novel, but for those willing to take this story for what it is, your in for a treat.
Through a journal kept by our protagonist, Patricia, we are treated to a subtley nuanced tale of considered appearance and reality, perception and perceptivity. This is a visual, sensory book. Music, color, the world of Dutch 17th century painting are all addressed in the book, though not always openly.
On one level this is a high stakes crime story that deals with the ideas of accomplices and couriers... as well as the concept that a representation can seem more beautiful than the actual object. Metaphors abound....hidden cupboards, fake compartments....all indicative other "hidden-fake" situations and individuals.
Many of the characters in the novel are not what, at first glance, they seem to be and their identities shift in the course of the tale.
I had a definite problem with Patricia's "cousin", Mickey. First, I did not believe that he was, in fact, her cousin. Secondly, his feelings for her seemed to me to be disingenuous.
Ultimately, the book causes us to think and poses many questions...not the least of which is that age old question......does the end justify the means?
Couldn't finish-.......2005-05-01
First of all, I must say I did not finish the book, despite its minimal size. I began reading this book because I am very interested in Art History, and reading historical fiction. This novel is based on Vermeer's painting, "the Music Lesson". I found very few references to Vermeer at all in the novel, and was very bored with the story line. Granted, I did not read all the way to the finish, but I was so bored with the story thus far, I couldn't.
Boring.......2004-09-26
American art historian Patricia Dolan is enlisted by an Irish cousin to help steal a painting from Buckingham Palace. I read it all properly, but I was bored with it. (B)
Sacrificing it All for Art.......2004-07-22
After reading "Tulip Fever" and "Girl With a Pearl Earring" I was in a Vermeer state of mind. Craving more, I happened upon this little story by Katharine Weber. Not quite what I expected, it nevertheless moves freely after a deliberately murky and introspective opening by narrator art historian, Patricia Dolan. Divorced, Patricia is forever haunted by the death of her only child in an unfortunate school bus accident. Memories of her mother, also deceased, further complicate and plunge her shaky emotions into the subterrean depths of the depressed mind. Enter Mickey, the younger man, a sweet and all-male Irish relation, who charms even Patricia's ex -Boston cop father after reawakening her sexuality with his rough and tumble bedroom savoir faire. Soon Patricia finds herself in Ireland, the sentinel to a tiny priceless Vermeer painting stolen in transit from a museum show back to its owner Queen Elizabeth herself, by Mickey and his band of Irish Republican sympathizers. When Patricia realizes she has been duped, used all along for her art historian's knowledge of the painting and its crating, she must scrounge up all the courage she buried deep within her after the death of her child and her own innocence.
Slow at first as it should be, this tiny novel flounders a little as the voice of Patricia recounts her sadness. Once she establishes her emotional foundation, however, the story picks up a well-appreciated momentum, where the reader feels as if she is moving along with the tide, feeling Patricia's pain firsthand as revelation after revelation clicks into place like the pieces of a sick little jigsaw puzzle. Satisfying ending with delicious descriptions of the fictitious Vermeer and the feelings of beauty, perfection and peace the painter instills within Patricia even after all she has gone through.
An elegant little novel.......2004-07-21
Art historian Patricia Dolan is biding her time in a rented Irish cottage, waiting for the perilous business she's become involved in to pan out, waiting for her newly discovered distant cousin/lover Mickey to join her. In the meantime she is enjoying the life rural Ireland has to offer in the off-season--solitude and an unprecedented closeness to and awareness of the elements, a barely electrified dwelling that's not "on the phone," stoic donkeys and an abundance of mostly nameless cats, the unspeakable beauty of her surroundings. Contrary to the expectations of her unknown masters, Patricia is writing about her experience in Ireland, an account that turns out to be more personal than art historical, as was her original intent. Her journal, the notebook she hides behind a secret panel in the cottage, is the text of The Music Lesson. From it we learn of the life Patricia has put on hold in New York and of the personal tragedy that has left her numbed for several years, and we are told of the family history and the subtle indoctrination that have culminated in her current situation.
Katharine Weber's The Music Lesson is an elegant little novel about loyalty and loss and disillusionment. Its protagonist is not always empathetic--Patricia crosses a line, foolishly and devastagingly, perhaps not quite believably, when she follows Mickey's lead--but she regains our support in the tense but quiet action of the book's end. As with her first book, Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear, Weber's sophomore effort proves that she is an author worth watching.

The hobo philosopher.......2007-08-22
If you check out some of my other reviews, you will see that this is not a typical book for me to read - but I did. Yes this book creates an historically realistic portrait of Elvis but the story is really about a sensitive emerging young woman. I enjoyed the book. I gave it to my wife who is an Elvis fan. She loved it. She mailed it to her sister another Elvis fan. She loved it and sent it to her cousin. The cousin emailed us to tell us how much she liked it. I don't know where the book is now. But I would guess that it is still being mailed around the country by all my cheap relatives.
Excellent!.......2006-03-03
Alone in her room, 14-year-old Achsa McEachern twists her radio dial. By chance she lands on a hillbilly station playing a new song called "That's All Right, Mama." She fires off her first-ever fan letter to an unknown Elvis Presley, telling him he's destined for stardom--but only if he gets off that hillbilly station.
Presley promptly replies. By the end of February 1955, they are corresponding regularly. While especially entranced with her knowledge of music, he's delighted that someone as smart as she is would dare have the time of day for him. Also convinced that he can make it to the top, Presley asks his new fan to help him with his grammar. And so begins the lessons that teach Elvis how to "talk good."
What follows is a vivid account of that momentous year, 1955, and two young lives in chaos. The Year the Music Changed is a stunning portrayal of a girl whose life is unraveling as fast as she can write--and a naive country bumpkin who yearns for bigger things. As Achsa's despondency over her harelip and the spiraling descent of her parents' marriage escalates, her letters become longer and longer, describing in great detail her feelings to her one and only friend.
But no matter the horror that has befallen her, Achsa never, ever forgets her promise: a grammar lesson in each return envelope. The first lesson involves double negatives and, as their correspondence nears its end in mid-1956, Achsa asks him to "Please promise that you will never forget to always remain on the lookout for double negatives. It is so very important."
We already know Elvis' voice, yet Thomas re-creates his style with such an acute accuracy that I could hear the insecurities, the passion, the search for grounding. Achsa's voice is so strong and powerful that by the end of the novel, I had thought she was real and went on an Internet search for her. Needless to say I came up empty handed.
Armchair Interviews says: As intimately as both personalities are portrayed, it is hard to remember this excellent book is fiction after all.
A Fast Intensely Satisfying Read.......2006-02-14
It is not often that I come across a book so engrossing that I read it cover to cover in one sitting, but I did this one.
Diane Thomas offers us a glimpse into the South of the mid 1950s. The letters Achsa McEachern writes to the then rising music star, Elvis Presley, start out as fan letters, but quickly become heart-touching and often heart-wrenching descriptions of her private inner life and that of her family's. The letters Elvis writes back to Achsa help to anchor the book in place and time, while providing us with an interesting new perspective on what it might have been like to be that rising star in the days before he became trapped in the prison of his own Superstardom.
I was a teen of the 70s but in Achsa, I could see myself. I wrote long, long letters to far away friends pouring out all the changes that were happening in my life; changes that I didn't always understand and that I felt helpless to control. I think many young women will find a piece of themselves in Achsa.
And for anyone whose mother came of age during the fifties, as mine did, this book would make a wonderful birthday or Mother's Day gift.
It is a fast, intensely satisfying read and I highly recommend it.
Appeals to All Ages.......2005-10-12
My 97-year-old mother (who was certainly not an Elvis fan) loved the book, said she couldn't put it down. My 15-year-old granddaughter (who is a Nirvana fan and thought Elvis was "old-fashioned") loved the book, my 64-year-old sister (who was a big Elvis fan in 1956) loved the book, and I (who was Elvis' contemporary and NOT a fan) loved the book. We loved it because of its truth. The heart of the story belongs not to Elvis but to a 14-year-old girl and her struggle to cope with her disfigured lip, a mother who is movie-star beautiful, a father whose religion borders on the fanatical. Ultimately she understands - and embraces - her own place in the world. Beautifully written, highly recommended.
Goodbye to The Ballads of Yesteryear........2005-10-12
This is really quite juvenile about a young teenager with a crush on a new singer, who is definitely different from the sedate crooners (Perry Como) and belters (Eddie Fisher) of that era. The music changed in the Fifties from the movie music of the Thirties and Forties. It has changed many times since and will continue to change as people's tasts in music changes.
The only thing to stay static is classical. Jazz can be improvised, but classical stays the same. Ballads were the country folk music before country was even country. Most of the hillbilly about affairs and broken-hearted women came right out of the ballads. Listen to "The Long Black Veil."
Now, these fictitious letters from a fan to a rising star are pretty silly. I know because I was a young teen back then, and I did not like Elvis Presley at all. He was vulgar. Frank Sinatra was the star of movies and music then, as was pure Pat Boone from Tennessee. Tennessee Ernie Ford sang the hymns and something silly called 'Sixteen Tons.' Dinah Shore had her own fashion/music show (she was the Loretta Young of country) with her old-home grace -- that was before Minnie Pearl came into being.
I had a cheap phonograph which looked like that featured on the cover. As I recall, the turntables in radio stations were a lot different. She relates how she took a record to one of the stations and it was being played out over the airways, but she could not hear anything in the studio. All the deejay had to do was flip a switch and boom! the music was louder than the bass the young (and not-so-young) play in their cars to get notice. I spent many wonderful afternoons visiting local stations to get Eddie Fisher on, as I was the president of "The Fisher Notes." We had a call-in "Relay" hosted by Bill Ross, a UT student from who-knows-where (I think he was a Cherokee Indian.), and as soon as you requested a certain song, it was on the air. I would usually request "Sunshine Girl." Sounds good, but it was sad, about a girl who was left at the altar in the lurch. Since I had no pretensions of ever being at the altar, it didn't bother me that she was deserted before anything ever began.
Life in the Fifties was good and innocent. The older college kids had private parties around town where liquor was available. I went to only one, and it was no fun. In 1955, Patti Page was the rage (I pantomimed some of her songs on a t.v. local talent show; I remember doing "Allegheny Moon."). Pat Boone with his white suede shoes was squeeky clean, as was Alan Ladd with his white cowboy boots in the movies.
Elvis came along and tossed his head, twisted his torso, and nothing was ever the same again. Certainly not for this young, impressionable girl who claimed to have written letters to him. I had a penpal in Sabadell, Spain, about that time who was amoured with Frank Sinatra recordings. My photo was in YOUR HIT PARADE magazine, and his brother had written to me at first, then Carlos and I became long-distance friends. He was a few years older than I and expected me to be more sophisticated than I was. After all, how can a young girl in Knoxville, Tennessee, ever be sophisticated? That's almost an impossibility even today. They may dress adult, but their thinking is backward and uneducated.
Diane Thomas used this device for her first novel. I tried to review A WOMAN OF INDEPENDENT MEANS to a literary club when I was a young matron, at the college, and it bored them to tears. I had thought that the letters made the characters "human" when actually it was just the opposite. Like these purportedly written by a young Elvis, who had no friends of his own and reached out to a disabled girl for solace. He lived his stardom too fast, and it burned out.
Ms. Thomas and Dr. Aaron J. Gelber are big Elvis fans. Thousands flock to Graceland every year in August, you'd think they'd go in January (his birthday), but I was told by a local woman that a t-shirt there costs $15.00. For a devoted fan, it's okay to throw away money on junk; personally, I'd save and spend it on music. There is an Elvis Museum in Pigeon Forge, and the Love Chapel in Gatlingburg, Tennessee. Music is the name of the game, and the spirit from within. We all have it; it just comes in different flavors.

No good for adjudicative procedure.......2007-04-05
I am a fool for the E&E, I never take an exam without going through an E&E first. So I bought this book without a second thought, opened it up and was pretty bummed to find out it only covers investigative procedure. My class is adjudicative procedure, and I'm not going to find any damn help from this book. If your class is the same, I wouldn't buy this-- get the Advanced CrimPro Nutshell instead.
Sucks compared to the other Examples and Explanation books.......2007-03-04
I really like Examples and Explanations (e.g. CivPro and Contracts). But this book wasn't useful to me at all. It feels more like a survey article in a newspaper than a helpful commercial source.
My professor said that only commercial source that was any good re Constitutional Criminal Procedure is the book by Lafave and Israel.
Decent for exam review.......2007-01-09
The E&E series can be a little uneven. (The Civil Procedure book is better than most Civ Pro casebooks for actually learning Civ Pro; the Criminal Law book has some outright errors.)
This one's better than average--not a substitute for doing your regular reading, but good for exam review. My only complaint is that many of the "examples" are real cases, so they don't test you much if you already did your other reading.
A must for criminal procedure. .......2006-04-12
This supplement is a must. It will save you time and energy. Bloom and Brodin give clean definitions for 4th amendment, 5th, and 6th. A friend of mine who passed the July 05 CA Bar (on the first attempt), used this book as her sole preparation for criminal procedure essay section. The checklist located in the appendix will ensure that you will not miss any issues.
Great supplement but bad teacher.......2004-12-13
I just used this book to help me study for my CrimPro exam. I thought it was very, very helpful, but only because I had read my casebook and attended class all semester. Unlike Glannon's CivPro E&E (which is a MUST-BUY for any 1L), this book would not have been valuable if I had opened it during the semester; it was only valuable before my exam as a review. It does not provide insight into why the Supreme Court decided certain things; it simply gives us the rules the Court spat out with a miniscule amount of justification, if any. Your casebook and professor would likely discuss the reasons why the Court decided the way it did and why the concurring or dissenting justices reasoned the way they did.
Thus this book does not give you a complete view of Criminal Procedure. But that is not what we are supposed to expect from study aids and supplements such as this. For what this book is supposed to be, a supplement/complement to the work you've already done, it is excellent. So make sure if you buy this that you are buying it for the right reasons. If you need a book explaining CrimPro in detail, then you should probably read your casebook.
I do have to say, however, that the hypotheticals are excellent and give you a good feel for what kinds of essays you might encounter on your exam. They allow you to walk through your analysis, exactly how your professor would expect you to, from start to finish.
Book Description
Fourth Amemdment law is both fascinating and inspiring -- as it deals with a fundamental human right, the denial of which was one of the leading causes of the American Revolution. But this law can also be extremely confusing. Thus the reason for this book: to make sense of this subject. In a single volume, Hubbart restates the content, organizational structure, and principled basis of Fourth Amendment law -- as laid forth by numerous U.S. Supreme Court decisions on the subject -- so that it is understandable and coherent. The work concentrates on U.S. Supreme Court caselaw, relies heavily on the historical background of the Fourth Amendment upon which much of this law is based, and cites to relevant treatises and leading federal and state court decisions. It also briefly discusses the theories of constitutional construction that the Court has used in reaching its decisions.
A wide variety of professionals (such as judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, police legal advisors, as well as teachers and students) at the law school, undergraduate, and law enforcement levels will find this book extremely useful.

Casebook with excellent examples.......2004-01-07
I would have given this outstanding casebook five stars had the Table of Cases not contained so many page number errors. Nonetheless, this is otherwise a superbly organized and well-written casebook.
Each section contains an extensive series of detailed and probing hypotheticals that are unrivaled as a valuable student resource by any other casebook.

Good practice manual for the attorney.......2007-01-10
A good practice manual for the attorney with no previous experience in this area.
Editorial Review.......2004-04-22
Follow the money." Following the money in the Watergate scandal of the 1970s was a key development in that investigation and underscored the essential role of money in the underlying criminal activity.
Since that time, law enforcement realized that new strategies needed to be developed in order to stem the mounting societal costs associated with financially motivated crime and to take the financial incentive out of criminal activity. These strategies included the freezing, seizing, and confiscation of assets - better known as asset forfeiture.
Asset Forfeiture: Practice and Procedure in State and Federal Courts is a "how to," practical guide to the common legal and practical issues faced by the asset forfeiture litigator. Written for attorneys, law enforcement and the general public, this book:
Is the only single-volume work summarizing state and federal asset forfeiture procedures
Highlights key elements of all 50 states in 21 easy-to-read summary charts
Provides strategies for law and motion and civil discovery practice relating to state and federal forfeiture actions
Contrasts state and federal forfeiture procedures, including a chart of the distribution formula for all 50 states
Is the only book that addresses ethical issues and discusses the state and federal ethical codes relating to asset forfeiture.
This book is distined...........2004-04-07
This book is destined to become the leading treatise and reference guide in the field of asset forfeitures for federal and state practitioners. Through a myriad of topics and numerous valuable tables this book summarizes and compares federal and state asset forfeiture practice. It is easy to read, concise and practical. Since I exclusively practice asset forfeitures, I find myself frequently referring to the book for a citation, a point of law, or an analysis. The book has quickly become my favorite reference guide in the complex practice of asset forfeitures. I highly recommend this book for the asset forfeiture practitioner and as a valuable addition to one's asset forfeiture library.

good source for law students.......1999-10-29
I am a pre-law/ criminal justice student, and this book made case studies easy
Product Description
Does the United States Constitution authorize federal control over the private possession of firearms? Who is actually commanded to silence by the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act? Are reasonable searches permitted without a warrant under the terms of the Fourth Amendment? What is the authority of a jury to judge the law as well as the facts, with or without the cooperation of the court? Peter E. Hendrickson, the man who taught America the liberating truth about the income tax in Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America, turns his attention to these and other questions of law and public policy in this wide-ranging, five-star feast for the freedom-loving intellectual appetite. The answers, insights, and clear thinking Hendrickson offers will startle, challenge, and energize every reader. No one who cherishes and respects Americas founding principles of limited government and individual liberty will finish this book with the sense that all is well. But every reader WILL finish this book with a confident understanding that, although great effort is spent to persuade us to the contrary by clients of the powerful central state, those principles remain the uncompromised foundation of our legal structure-- needing nothing more to be realized than for those whose heritage they are to climb to their feet, with courage and dedication, and uphold the law.
Book Description
As chief counsel of the U.S. Senate Watergate Committee, Sam Dash challenged the Nixon administration's abuse of presidential power in the 1970s. Now he turns his discerning legal mind to the Bush administration's increasing intrusion on the privacy rights of American citizens.
What is the best way to balance the competing interests of national security and individual liberty in our post-9/11 world? To answer that question, Dash examines the factors that led to the Fourth Amendment's protection of the people against unreasonable searches and seizures. Covering almost eight hundred years of history, he begins with King John of England and the Magna Carta, then moves to early America as colonists resisted searches mandated under King George III. These tensions eventually contributed to the birth of the United States and the adoption of the Bill of Rights with its essential Fourth Amendment.
The story of the next two centuries is how effective that protection has been as the U.S. developed "from sea to shining sea." Dash explores the struggle for privacy rights by relating dramatic legal battles throughout our history, including landmark Supreme Court cases. He reveals the sometimes humorous experiences of the people involved, such as the unlucky gambler with a shoplifting wife and the police lieutenant turned king of the bootleggers. It becomes clear that to some extent, judicial safeguarding of Fourth Amendment protections depended on which justices made up the majority of the Court at any given time.
By 2001, a conservative majority of the Court had given law enforcement agents greater search and seizure authority than ever before. Dash challenges the legal justification of the Bush Administration's grab for extensive search, seizure, and wiretap powers after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He reminds us of government abuses in prior emergencies in American history, and concludes that the best security is dedication to our belief in individual liberty and the enforcement of our Bill of Rights.
The Intruders should be read by every American concerned about the increasing encroachment of government on one of the principal values that defines who we are, our hard-won right to individual privacy and freedom.
