When the Bough Breaks by Jonathan Kellerman
4.0
I've gotten rather spoiled to reading YA novels. There's a huge advantage over actual adult novels. There tends to be less gratuitous cursing (and for me to say that, with my sailor mouth, that's saying something), less awkwardly worded sex scenes ("her mound" should never be uttered where I have to hear it). More emotions, less BS.
But still, I occasionally enjoy a good adult novel. And apparently, I need to read everything Jonathan Kellerman has ever written.
Excellent book. Truly excellent. Alex is a fantastic character, even if he does some extremely stupid things. Love Milo, love the little girl Melody.
Another problem with adult books is I tend to immediately flip to the back of the book to find out who dunnit. It's a serious flaw of mine, been doing it since I was a pre-teen reading Christopher Pike.
So, I knew who dunnit here. It didn't take away from the action, though. Very enjoyable to read, and not too much personal stuff that had me rolling my eyes and skimming like crazy.
Okay, I skimmed a little. Not too bad.
Very enjoyable. I'll be reading more from him.
