If your a fan you don't need a review, I have read all the Alex Delaware books, mostly what can be said here is this is probably not the best but is a fantastic book. As always the psychological twists to the characters is the fun here. A great book that i never wanted to put down.

Kellerman writes too many books. Ah well.

Kellerman's books are always good and this one was no exception. The story was enjoyable, but it is not one that I would re-read. There was no character development for Alex and Milo, and Robin was a very minor character in this book. While there are some twists and turns to the plot, the ending was not a surprise. This book was okay, but not one of my favorites.

The book is quite fast in movement, through the constant discovery of the characters. Though the plot was a bit predictive, I still find myself getting surprised in some scenes. I just disliked how fast and abrupt the ending was.

Great as always, I listened to this one at work. Haven't heard/read this one in so long it like reading it new again. I need to start this series over from the start!

I listened to this on disc and found the constant use of the words "he said" to be distracting, bordering on jarring. I found the story and dialogue all painfully predicable. I'm not sure I'm willing to give Kellerman another chance based on this tale filled with a stereotypical cast of characters.

This is a milo sturgis alex delaware mystery. A lot of times, these mysteries get caught up in Alex's relationship with his girlfriends, whom i never like, so i was so happy that this time, robyn pretty much stayed out of everything. the more she or his ex are in these stories, the worse they are. In this story, we get introduced to a new detective, which i think was something these stories needed, an extra element. The story itself had a lot going on, in a good way. Lots of messed up people... Overall, i felt this was an entertaining thriller mystery, better than many of Kellerman's books, although not so fast pacing that it grabs you and makes you want to keep reading when you don't have time.

A solid Delaware novel. Good plot line, although the characters lend themselves towards caricatures as the story moves forward.
