Another great volume! The series moves along at a snappy and satisfying pace. If haven’t yet enjoyed Kellerman’s Alex Delaware novels, now is a good time
Oh my God. This book took me like 2 months to read because I never wanted to pick it up. For some reason I couldn't get into the characters or the story. I'm not sure why, it had an interesting plot but the further I got into the book the more I realized that I didn't even care how it ended. There were so many characters that it was difficult to keep them straight. I'd find myself saying, "Who the hell is that?" But then not caring enough to even flip back through and try to find out. This was t...
I stepped away from my long standing obsession with reading all of my James Patterson books to read this on a recommendation. I have to say that this was one of my least enjoyable books/authors in a very long time! While I did like the idea of the story line, I absolutely hated the style in which Jonathan Kellerman writes. If you like the idea of explicit details of every conceivable thing a person can describe, down to the strand number of and exact pixel color of the understitch of the thread
Dear Dr. Delaware, I get about 2 minutes into this and there's a sex scene already. I can't be doing with it! Solve your crimes and keep your bedroom shenanigans to yourself, please. I do not want to know how many times your girlfriend came. In any case, I have always suspected you as a "projection of the author, but awesome" character - you're just too good at everything, which apparently includes sex, and that makes me suspicious. Indeed, according to you, your only real flaw is the one belove...
The boom was okay. I am going to still read this author. I would recommend for someone new to this author to try another book in the series. I am not in order with this series. However, this author gives enough information where a person can follow through. I would give this book 3 stars. I still would recommend this series.I do like cold cases. This one was interesting and had some surprises. For me, I felt it was drawn out. Not everyone has the same tastes. I am happy that justice was done for...

More time is spent on Dr Delaware's midlife crisis than it seems is warranted. The wordage spent on resolving Milo being a gay detective in this straight man's world somehow seemed apporpriate, however. This book seemed less riveting than the other Alex Delaware books I've read. The purpose almost seemed to be less about resolving the mystery and more about resolving the characters life issues. BUT, I guess when these characters have been around as much as these guys have, we need some time to f...
To be honest i did not enjoy it. Too much detail and it took way to long to get to the case and any break throughs.Majority of this book felt like alex and even milo wallowing in self pity for one reason or the other. The one book out of the few i read where milo starred a bit more and it left me disappointed. He still did not for me atleast seem like the brilliant detective he should be and alex was stubborn as ever making more breaks in the case than the detective.I did complete it after skimm...
2...Not even the ending could save this one for me...I love Milo and love this storyline with him, but I want this series to be about CHILD psychology...and am missing that piece...Also why so drawn-out???
I read the Murder Book once before, a long time ago from the library. I enjoyed it then, same as now - I think I have a better understanding of the characters today, because I've read many more Alex Delaware books in the meantime. For me the level of intrigue and corruption was through the roof. The complexities of the plot were well crafted, and I was very captivated and highly curious to see how Milo Sturgis and Alex would get to the bottom of this. How can you go up against covers up within t...
