Devil's Waltz is a book with several different problems. The characters are all believable as well as the settings. Four stars were given to this very short review. ( )

El psicólogo Alex Delaware es requerido por una pediatra amiga para que atienda un singular caso clínico: una niña, Cassie Jones, ha sido ingresada reiteradas veces con síntomas variados sin aparente raíz orgánica, pero que siempre la colocan al borde de la muerte. Cassie no es una niña cualquiera: su hermano murió al poco de nacer del Síndrome de Muerte Súbita, su abuelo es el presidente del consejo del hospital donde está ingresada. Cindy, la madre, a pesar del cariño que manifiesta por la niña, parece responsable, a través de las tortuosidades de su cerebro, de los males de su hija.
Para Delaware, lo que empieza siendo un caso de desórdenes psicológicos se convierte paulatinamente en una vasta conjura en la que se entremezclan sórdidos intereses económicos y el odio más feroz cuyo eje es la familia Jones.

This book was so primal, it ought to have been narrated as an audiobook by a screaming Kurt Cobain. It was so shocking. You know there cannot be a lot of red herrings, but the author did not let that bother him.

Is Kellerman really inferior in writing to his wife Faye? That's what someone told me. Faye better than even Jonathan? Scary.

I read book 34 first. Reason for that simply was the title, 'The Wedding Guest'. I thought I was going to be treated with a cozy like experience. But I can no longer convey my impressions. I've forgotten about book 34.

Maybe that's Kellerman's sins. His books don't stick in the mind. I never see his name in the bestsellers list. He ought to out dough James Patterson. Patterson's books too are forgettable. But will the latter get 5 stars from me? No. ( )

The doctors call it Munchausen by proxy, the terrifying disease that causes parents to induce illness in their own children. Now, in his most frightening case, Dr. Alex Delaware may have to prove that a child's own mother or father is making her sick. Twenty-one-month-old Cassie Jones is bright, energetic, the picture of health. Yet her parents rush her to the emergency room night after night with medical symptoms no doctor can explain. Cassie's parents seem sympathetic and deeply concerned. Her favorite nurse is a model of devotion. Yet when child psychologist Alex Delaware is called in to investigate, instinct tells him that one of them may be a monster. Then a physician at the hospital is brutally murdered. A shadowy death is revealed. And Alex and his friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis have only hours to uncover the link between these shocking events and the fate of an innocent child.
