Is she a ghost? Isn't she a ghost? Is it a plot twist or just Gideon Lake's blindness to the situation? Once you get past the fact that the Sixth Sense type ghost story isn't actually all about such matters you realise that this tale of horror, suspense, terror and love is a very well written and plotted tale. Those initial questions won't be answered until the end, however if you get tied up in them - you've missed the point. Masterton has been here before, and recently too, yet the aim here is not to produce just a horror story, it's a clever and intricate love story, with some well defined scenes that will make your skin crawl. The balance is well maintained, if a little forced at times (the requirement of novels which do not answer the questions until the end, unfortunately). Masterton is great at putting supernatural elements on to paper and Ghost Music is an excellent example - captivating and haunting - a must read.
