Not his usual knockout

I have read every book Kellerman has written. This one fell a bit short from all his others. There were many more characters than usual, with three seperate stories going on at the same time, with little to no intersection. The ending fell flat. Having said that, I am still a huge fan and will ready anything he puts out.

Enjoyable book

I haven't read all of JK's books, so I was less disappointed than those who have been longtime fans. I found it hard to put this book down. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to read the other Alex Delaware books. Recommend this book to other mystery fans.

Murder in drag

LAPD Detective Milo Sturgis and his psychologist friend, Dr.Alex Delaware team up once again, this time to solve a crime of a possible kidnapping and murder. Stupid, feather brained Kat, a beautiful girl but intellectual lightweight, goes missing after being left behind by her two girlfriends, following a night of clubbing and heavy drinking. Her car runs out of petrol so she accepts a lift from an older, well dressed woman, and is never seen again until her mutilated body is uncovered by earth moving equipment during the excavation of a swimming pool. Her body has suffered unspeakable damage which suggests the work of a psychologically motivated killer. The killer seems to use a number of identities, using classic and expensive automobiles to which only a millionaire would have access. Alex's wife, Robin, who has appeared in many of Jonathan Kellerman's books, plays a minor role in this novel, leaving the focus on Alex and Milo. Kellerman's fans will love this book which deals with murder, thrill killing and dangerously mad criminals and so, I think, will all lovers of good murder/mysteries.

Just average

I bought this book at the same time I bought Harlan Coben's new book, Hold Tight. Kellerman's book is just an average novel. There's a lot going on and it's hard to keep the story lines straight which I found really annoying. I never really cared a whole lot what the end was going to be which is about as bad as it gets when you're reading a mystery/suspense novel. Coben's new book on the other hand was just the opposite. I read the whole thing in two days. I always read Kellerman's books but after the last two I may just get them from the library from now on. Coben's you should go out and buy right now.
