Don't waste your time or pennies on this book! Don't waste your time at the library checking it out. It is only the start of what could be 2 totally seperate great books. Instead, it leads you...
Best selling spouses Faye and Jonathan Kellerman got together and collaborated on this one. Well, not really - it is two separate stories in one volume, but it's fun. I'd seen copies that were flip...
Dr. Eldon Mate a promoter of euthanasia is dead. Dr. Mate body is found in his suicide van. His killer thought it appropriate to use Dr. Mate's machine that had been used in so many assisted...
The most difficult book to get interested in~~~too many characters in the storyline, jumps around too much, and a lot of unnecessary info. Never read past the seventh chapter. The beginning...
I described this book as breezy to a friend who asked about it. It is an easy read, compelling enough to hold your interest and make you want to finish. The characters, of course, are well known to...
A madman institutionalized in a secured hospital for the criminally insane is predicting the most gruesome murders. The horror of it is that these heinous murders are taking place. Alex Delaware...
It may take 8-9 chapters to get into this book, but then it gets rolling, with just about as much gore and blood as one can take. There are probably more twists and turns than any book I have ever...
I have read most of Kellerman's books and enjoyed them. This book is non-stop gore. Do you enjoy children being slashed to death? Do you enjoy young women having their eyes gouged out? I can't...
To put it short, this book was terrible. The story was contrived, the ending unbelievable and trite. About halfway through the book, Mr Kellerman discovers the word "sojourn" and uses it about...
I'm intoxicated with Alex Delaware, but this novel with new heroine Petra Connor left me dying for more! Billy Straight, 12, is another character I'd like to see Kellerman follow in more novels....

I simply love the Alex Delaware series by Jonathan Kellerman. I usually read a book in 2-3 days. This books was different for me. The pacing seemed off and I really just never got into the...
This book is a good page-turner and has interesting characters. However, they mystery fizzles. I am a fan of Kellerman's work but this book is just not up to par. I recommend...
What the heck happened to the ending?! We get so much detail in every chapter of the book, yet the coup de grace occurs off page? Lame. It's as if Kellerman suddenly realized he had another...
I have read many of the Alex Delaware novels. I initially liked them but got bored. This one seems completely contrived, like Jonathan Kellerman has totally run out of ideas and should forget...
Kellerman's descriptive talents are incredible. Every character, landscape, building and room is a picture in your mind's eye. Add that to his mastery of psychology and his talent for twist and...

I guess Kellerman had some contractual obligations to fulfill when he churned this one out with a cookie cutter. It's just not up to his usual standards. The basic premise, rich clients, radio...
I went in with low expectations. I figured it would just be a time-waster to read on an airplane. But this book was simply terrible. Terrible. My first problem was that it was dull. The second was...
A great psychological thriller that avoids psychological techno-speak!
When a young couple parked for a little late night loving beside an empty house on Mulholland Drive are found murdered with what appears to be sexual overtones, LAPD Detective Milo Sturgis is...
This was a terriffic book - which highlights the confusion and craziness of the borderline personality. Truly Alex, at times seemed borderline - When treating a borderline personality,...
Jonathan Kellerman is a fine writer with a very compelling sense of style. This book, like all of his Alex Delaware books, was fun to read and I recommend it overall.
Readers who know other Jonathan Kellerman novels may be just a little bit disappointed. This one is on the one hand pretty simple as far as the action is concerned. But the plot is not really...
This was my first Kellerman novel, recommended highly by a co-worker. Was not at all impressed, I thought it was a ridiculous outcome. Used to reading Ludlum and Connelly - this book pales...
As usual, Jonathan Kellerman writes a suspenseful yet compellingly human story. The way he weaves the story line of Alex Delaware and his personal interactions with other characters is always...
When the Bough Breaks by Jonathan Kellerman is the first of the Alex Delaware mysteries. Alex is a psychologist, he has been going full bore from early adolescence and after helping a group to...
Enjoyable read until the author brought up every character in the book in the summary of the case. He even went so far as to refer to characters by their last names throughout most of the book,...
I liked this book however there were so many characters that I lost track of who was who. I liked the story line and Dr. Alex's Delawares character. The ending was a complete shock. It did pick up...
Over the Edge, the third book in Jonathan Kellerman's highly successful series starring psychologist Alex Delaware, is more technical and clinical, though no less exciting, than the first two. Like...
This book was just ok. It was soooo long. It was extremely "wordy". I thought there were so many things that were said that really didn't need to be. Sort of redundant. I hated that you only got...
Listen, I basically like the plots of these stories and the action. But poor Alex himself is getting so pretentious, he's verging on the insufferable! He has a house in the "Hills" with a deck and...
My first reaction was What kind of twisted mind would write such a thing? The villain in this is as evil as it gets and the things he does - just horrific. But, then ... I don't think the book is...
I am a fan of Jonathan Kellerman - have read all of his books and enjoyed most of them. This was the last one I read. It was too long - so many diversions that did not advance the story. It...
This is the only book I have read of the author and that was at the urging of my wonderful wife. I was not disappointed but not thrilled either. I realize this was not his usual character so I...
I enjoy Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series, but I think certain entries are better than others. PRIVATE EYES isn't a great Kellerman novel, but it's enjoyable enough if you like...
I found this book to be a little slow, but it did have a good twist towards the end. I felt the ending could have been a little more explosive. The way the two missing characters turned up and...
What a "piece of work" this was. Boring, slow, full of highly irrelevant side plots... just a bomb NOT "the bomb" ;). It took me forever to finish it because I would literally start falling...
I've read most of the Alex Delaware novels, but it's been awhile since I've done it. Unfortuneately, I was disappointed by Monster. I generally like Milo's and Alex's adventures, but this one just...
Detective Milo Sturgis has a cold case that is really bothering him - a young upstanding actor butchered and left in the trunk of his own car. The victim was simply a nice guy and it's a completely...
The story of the book is a good one, but the book is not an easy reading book, the way that the movie maker takes out of jail a prisoner to do his last job is a little bit out of reality if you see...

Having had Jonathan Kellerman recommended highly to me, I gave him a try with this book. Without reviewing the plot, I'll admit it moves quickly, despite extraneous information on virtually every...
This is my first Alex Delaware novel so I have nothing to compare to. I found the book a little slow to develop, but overall a good mystery. I liked the main characters & would read other Delaware...
Kellerman Needs to Dump Alex Delaware (For A While) !
Having read several of the novels in this series, I have found them to become very rote. I think it would serve Mr. Kellerman well to maybe attempt a novel with Milo Sturgis, the gay detective in...
Like many of the other reviewers, I have read Jonathan Kellerman from the beginning of his Alex Delaware books. This is the only one that I absolutely could not finish. I can't stand the Robin...
This is the first Jonathan Kellerman thriller I've read. It seemed to bog down pretty early and I was not captivated by the hero, Alex Delaware, as he was trying to help traumatized kids while...
Dr. Alex Delaware is called to a grade school where there was sniper fire during recess. Milo Sturgis the detective asked him to help the children cope with the situation and move on with their...
I have purchased many of the Kindle version books with numerous typos but could usually figure out what was intended. This one had so many errors, it took away my enjoyment. The story was great,...
I won't spoil things by divulging the "surprise" twist, but leave it to say that the thin characters and slow moving, hard-to-swallow plot made this read a disappointment. This was my first...
An offer to good to pass up. Three months, all expenses paid, on an island in Micronesia. Dr. Bill Moreland has invited psyhcologist Dr. Alex Delaware to his tropical estate to assist Dr. Moreland...
I bought 3 of Jonathan Kellerman's paperback novels a few months ago. I've read 2 of them so far, and I still have the 3rd one. I don't remember which is which. If I read this one already, it...
I agree with a previous reviewer here. It seems as though the formula for Kellerman's novels is becoming predictable and stale. I can almost tell you the exact steps the book will take you...
Other than Alex being a shrink, there wasn't much psychological about this not-quite thriller. The much more interesting storyline, dealing with the vengeful Dr. Hauser was eons more interesting...

I forget if this is one of the ones I read already, or if it's the one I'm saving for later (of 3 that I bought the other month). If I read this one, it's a good book. If I didn't, I know it'll...
I've been a fan of Jonathan Kellerman and his Alex Delaware novels for twenty years. "Obsession" works in a convoluted plot of porn stars, dope addicts, and college students. What I missed in this...
I needed something to read. This had been given to me and sat on the shelf for several months. I finaly grabbed it. Wish I had not.What a bore. It was also uncredible with the dying mother saying...

start with a different kellerman if this is your 1st
I believe this book was written in 94, well thank God Kellerman has come a long way since then. I can't say I would or wouldn't recommend the book. It definitely wasn't great, it drolled on, much...
A friend of mine gave me Bad Love to read when I spent the night at his house and was looking for a book. I started it, and took it home with me. After almost finishing it, I called him and said...
I really enjoyed this one. Dr. Alex Delaware - child psychologist/police consultant - is in real peril and it's possible even his pal Detective Milo Sturgis can't help him this time.
I forget if this is one of the ones I read already, or if it's the one I'm saving for later (of 3 that I bought the other month). If I read this one, it's a good book. If I didn't, I know it'll...

I've been a fan of the Alex Delaware novel almost from the beginning, though the latest few have been piling up on my TBR stack because of lack of time. This one, while a pleasant return to...
I did this Kellerman on audio, as I have done with virtually all of his books. I read nonfiction at home, and do these mysteries on audio in the car on long business trips. For those who haven't...
Save your money, folks! This book is not worth the paper it's printed on. I don't know what has happened to Kellerman, but he seems to have lost his touch. Where are the classic twists and turns,...
