Liked this one better than others, it's about time Alex and Robin's relationship broke up, it's not completely broken up but it's pretty much dead even if they don't realize it yet; I read these books almost as much for seeing how Alex's life is doing as much as for the mystery and Kellerman seems to be starting around the book previous to this to start realizing that the fans want that, starting to progress that storyline instead of keep it the same old same old.

Another solid read-this time more focused on the inner workings of Delaware's mind. A good storyline and I appreciated the neat way loose ends were wrapped up.

Boring and long detailed sentences that really add nothing to the story (like why does he describes all the women's breasts that he introduced OMG STOP ??)

The plot on this book was so slow developing, it really took some work to stick with it.

Published in 2002, I have no idea how long I've had this book but the references to cassette tapes and phone booths made me laugh.
I've always enjoyed the Alex Delaware series and I'm not sure why I fell away from them. Perhaps I need to pick them back up. Flesh and Blood is #15 in the series.
Delaware is a psychologist who consults with the police, specifically with homicide detective Milo Sturgis. This case is a missing woman who Delaware treated for 2 sessions 10 years previous. It's not something he should be invested in, but he gets very deep into the case especially when the woman is found murdered. I don't remember if Delaware was always somewhat reckless (or "intense") but I felt like shaking him several times during the book for the foolish things he was doing. To the detriment of his relationship, he puts all his waking hours into this case.
We have prostitutes, strippers, soft porn magazine honchos, murder, and craziness. All of which makes a good mystery to solve along with the characters.
