Another escape in the world of murder a la Kellerman. Still enjoy the characters of Sturgis and Delaware.
A typical J Kellerman novel - tight writing, some strong bits of dialog, more of a "can we catch him?" more then a "whodunit."
It opens up with an ex-child patient of Alex's come in, with a startling problem - her aunt, her adopted her as a child, confessed to a dirty deed on her deathbed. Milo and Alex agree to investigate, mostly to reassure the girl that her mother was not up to anything horrible, but they find more then they ever expected.

After twenty-one books of the same character, you would have thought Kellerman wouldn’t be able to produce another awesome Alex Delaware detective novel — but he has.

mysterious
medium-paced
Slow, boring, and predictable; with way too much "filler" narrative that fills pages and kills time but doesn't move the plot along. I finished it only because I've read all of Kellerman's previous Alex Delaware novels and gotten familiar with the characters, and I didn't want to break the series. But I really hope they've gotten better in the last few years; otherwise Alex Delaware and I may be parting ways.

Typical Kellerman- satisfying but utterly forgettable.
So about 30 pages in, I realized I had already read this book.
