Crime Alex Delaware is asked by a judge to help assess a custody situation for a sixteen-month old girl between an unwed mother Ree and her successful sister Connie. Ree left the child with her sister for 88 days while touring with some high school friends and her elder sister Connie is a dominating, cold hearted, emotionless and successful owner of a pathology laboratory. When Connie is found dead, suspicion falls on Ree, who has mysteriously disappeared. Book #29 in the series kept me guessing all the way. Received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I haven't read an Alex Delaware book in a long time. I have a ton of them on my shelves at home but for some reason I stopped picking up new ones. Killer was a good reintroduction back into the world of Alex and Milo. Being in mental health myself, I always loved reading about how Dr. Delaware's work intertwined with the police department and spent many a daydream thinking about how to do that. Killer was a story that simmered with tension but never got to full blown boiling chaos. I was okay with that. It was a solid plot with interesting characters and a great reminder as to why I started reading his work in the first place. Killer is another murder mystery by Jonathan Kellerman that takes place in the city of Los Angeles. From the first page until the last the story keeps its suspense. The characters catch the killer(s) by observation and careful listening. The depraved characters, the settings, the storyline are all believable. This book is highly recommended thus the five star review. Jonathan Kellerman does not disappoint in this suspense novel of murder and intrigue. A dispute between sisters ends up in the courts in a custody battle involving a small child. The aunt thinks the mother is unfit, but psychologist Alex Delaware does not agree. His ruling sets off a chain of unusual events involving murder for hire, a concerned hitman, a different murder, a drive-by shooting, a disappearance, and more. With a twisting plot and multiple problems, this page-turner will keep you guessing who the killer really is. Always entertaining, always suspenseful. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jonathan Kellerman returns with this stunning thriller—a mesmerizing L.A. noir portrayal of the darkest impulses of human nature carried to shocking extremes. The City of Angels has more than its share of psychopaths, and no one recognizes that more acutely than the brilliant psychologist and police consultant Dr. Alex Delaware. Despite that, Constance Sykes, a sophisticated, successful physician, hardly seems like someone Alex needs to fear. Then, at the behest of the court, he becomes embroiled in a bizarre child custody dispute initiated by Connie against her sister and begins to realize that there is much about the siblings he has failed to comprehend. And when the court battle between the Sykes sisters erupts into cold, calculating murder and a rapidly growing number of victims, Alex knows he’s been snared in a toxic web of pathology. Nothing would please Alex more than to be free of the ugly spectacle known as Sykes v. Sykes. But then the little girl at the center of the vicious dispute disappears and Alex knows he must work with longtime friend Detective Milo Sturgis, braving an obstacle course of Hollywood washouts, gangbangers, and self-serving jurists in order to save an innocent life. Killer is Kellerman—and Delaware—at their finest. Praise for Killer “Killer is well plotted and paced. . . . One of [Kellerman’s] best.”—Bookreporter “As usual, the rapport between Alex and Milo is a show-stealer, and longtime fans . . . will love the well-executed flashbacks to Alex’s professional past.”—Booklist “Kellerman kicks this one up to a whole new level.”—RT Book Reviews Praise for Jonathan Kellerman “Jonathan Kellerman has justly earned his reputation as a master of the psychological thriller.”—People “Kellerman really knows how to keep those pages turning.”—The New York Times Book Review.
