It is always a pleasure to visit Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis. It is interesting to me how Milo has become more of a focus in these books. In this book, Milo has been charged with solving a crime without using his full influence. The police chief's son attends tony Windsor Prep and the Chief doesn't want any scandal attached to the school while his son is applying to Yale. An unpopoular tutor has been murdered after making a DVD implicating three teachers of abuse. But there are too many suspects out there. Milo is able to utilize Alex Delaware's psychological expertise to find out who wanted her dead and why.
This is the latest Alex Delaware mystery by Jonathan Kellerman (although I feel at this point I should be labeling them Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis mysteries because Milo has taken over, lol). Alex and Milo investigate the death of a teacher at an elite prep school. This one's a lot better than the last two or three (Evidence was especially lackluster, IMHO) but still not as good as the older entries in the series. The conclusion to the mystery isn't too weird or unpredictable, but there's nothing too brilliant in the journey to answers, either. There are some nice moments of interaction between Alex and Milo, and we get to see Robin and Blanche, too, although briefly. Not a bad summer read at all.
