When a teacher at a very exclusive prep school is found dead in a tub of dry ice, L.A. Homicide Detective Milo Sturgis is assigned to the case. The murdered teacher has left behind a DVD on which she claims that she was subjected to relentless sexual harassment by three other members of the school's staff, whom she names on the video. Because it looks like an interesting case, Milo invites his old pal, Alex Delaware, to tag along during the investigation. Logically, Milo's investigation should s...
This was not Kellerman's best work. Usually he adds more about Dr. Delaware's home life, and his dog and his girlfriend, and he usually even manages to come up with more plausible reasons for Dr. Delaware to be tagging along with his detective friend, but here, it seems like he let that go. We hardly heard at all about Robyn and the dog, and he ended up tagging along with Miles not only for the arrest of two violent killers, for no good reason, he also ended up in the interrogation room with the...
I've been hooked on Kellerman's Alex Delaware stories for many years. This book was more of a crime procedural as Delaware and his detective friend and colleague, Milo Sturgis, work to find the killer of a young female teacher, Elise Freeman, who is a substitute and a tutor at a posh private school. While I moved quickly through this one, I prefer those in which Delaware needs to not only look for the psychological elements in a crime but also look at himself and how his past affects his conclus...
Kellerman has finally wrestled the series back on track. His last two or three have been both lackluster and bizzare, full of completely repellent characters and bizzare motivations. I worried that Kellerman was heading down the same Path to Crazy as Patricia Cornwell seems to have galloped.) Apparently not -- I was relieved to read a nice, solid mystery, with sensible suspects, the bad guy(s) are only "normally" repulsive, no inexplicable plot turns, Milo and Alex and back in their cop-buddy gr...
When a substitute teacher at the Chief's son's elite prep school turns up dead in a tub of dry ice, Milo is called in to investigate on the DL.When one of the "poor" students that the school paid Elise to tutor goes missing he becomes Milo's cheif suspect. But soon Alex and Milo begin to suspect that Martin Mendoza is being framed and every new murder brings them one step closer to the motive (a test taking scheme) and the true killers.
In this 25th book in the 'Alex Delaware' series, a female teacher at an exclusive prep school dies in odd circumstances. The book can be read as a standalone.*****Windsor Prep Academy is a pricey, exclusive high school that prides itself on sending many of its graduates to top universities like Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. - schools that are notoriously hard to get accepted to. So when a Windsor Prep English teacher, Elise Freeman, is found murdered in a bathtub full of dry ice.........
Reading an Alex Delaware mystery is like settling back for a great conversation with old friends. But instead of kids and jobs, you’re taking murders, sandwiches and getaway cars. As always, Milo has some of the best lines and meals, but Alex can always be counted on to properly connect the dots, especially when some are well hidden. So glad to reacquaint myself with these old buddies, I’m looking to reading another book real soon!!
A teacher from a private school is found dead in a tub of dry ice. She leaves behind a DVD that names possible suspects should something ever happen to her. As Alex and Milo discover, the teacher had a of secrets. So do the people around her. Another good Delaware/Sturgis novel.
I loved this installment of the Alex Delaware series. The whodunit kept me guessing and interested until the end. The book was Alex and Milo at their best.
"Deception" continues my Kellerman mini-marathon (brainless entertainment for the holidays). In terms of the premise, plot, and literary value the novel is weaker than "Twisted", which I finished two days ago. Still, it is a relatively good read, interesting and more twisted than "Twisted".A teacher from a super-exclusive prep school in Los Angeles is found dead, along with a DVD in which she accuses three fellow teachers of sexual harassment. The police chief's son is about to graduate from the...
In the 25th installment of the Alex Delaware mystery series, Deception dealt with the death of Elise Freeman, a prep school teacher, who was tortured and killed by her tormentors. It was up to Alex and Milo to discover what remained behind closed doors of the well-esteemed prep school. They later learned her killers were also killers at the same school, too. While the school close ranked against the scandal, they unearthed some rather disturbing and shocking dirty secrets. When they were ready
