When the Bough Breaks by Jonathan Kellerman
5.0
For a book written in the mid 80s, I am impressed by how modern it felt. Our protagonist is a child psychologist and his best friend a gay police detective. The psychological terms were out of date by modern standards but if you can keep in mind that it was in the 80s you will be fine. The main character was also pretty good at calling out or at least pointing out racism with other characters. I didn't expect this from 85.
I really liked the main character, his entire character isnt about his sad or hard past. Sure he had something happen but he purposely changed his life and got better because of it. He is a decent human being and I liked that. Milo, his best friend, is great and I love the big slob. Their relationship is almost like brothers and I adore it. I just liked how human they felt and the drama came from the crime instead of their personal lives.
A warning this book is very dark in subject matter, it involves abuse against children.
