I have a patron with a sister who is looking for a book she read several
years ago.
Plot summary: a cellist who doesn't perform, but only gives music
lessons
(and feels badly about that) serves on a jury for a trial in which a man
is
convicted of killing his buddhist master. He kills his buddhist master
by
clubbing him together while in a transcendental meditative state. so
there
is that whole buddhist component to the book along with the music
lessons
and a child prodigy that the cellist is teaching. The same guy has an
affair with another jury member (which he tries to hide throughout the
trial). The author is a guy (not a woman) and wrote another book that I
LOVED that involved music.
Thanks.

This sounds like "The Soloist" by Mark Salzman.

Andrea, I just finished reading this a couple of weeks ago. It's The
Soloist by Mark Salzman, and it's very good.
