Psychic Mira Tejedor possesses unique talents that enable her to find anything and anyone, but now she must find a comatose boy wandering lost inside the labyrinth of his own mind.
Thirteen-year-old Anthony Faircloth hasn't spoken a word in almost a month, and with each passing day his near-catatonic state worsens. No doctor, test, or scan can tell Anthony's distraught mother what has happened to her already troubled son. In desperation she turns to Mira for answers, hoping her unique abilities might succeed where science has failed. At their first encounter, Mira is pulled into Anthony's mind and finds the child's psyche shattered into the various movements of Modest Mussorgsky's classical music suite Pictures at an Exhibition. As she navigates this magical dreamscape drawn from Anthony's twin loves of Russian composers and classical mythology, Mira must contend with gnomes, troubadours, and witches in her search for the truth behind Anthony's mysterious malady. The real world, however, holds its own dangers. The onset of Anthony's condition coincides with the disappearance of his older brother's girlfriend, a missing-person case that threatens to tear the city apart. Mira discovers that in order to save Anthony, she will have to catch a murderer who will stop at nothing to keep the secrets contained in Anthony's unique mind from ever seeing the light.

Normally I avoid books written in present tense unless they're in a noir detective genre because it usually feels forced and is distracting but this one wasn't.
It was a well written narrative with lots of sensory information and a rolling momentum that kept me engaged.
Some aspects of it remind me of the movie "The Cell" with Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughn. But it's more magical and whimsical than that.. And... frankly, less icky. Not that I minded the nastiness and violence in The Cell. It was part of the horror.
But this is not like that. It's a bit more family friendly, though there are some sensitive topics. The Mussorgsky Riddle has some great dreamscape imagery and scary imaginative characters.
I'll definitely be checking out Darin Kennedy's other books.
