My first kellerman novel. I really enjoyed the style and will read another one.

The duo of Delaware and Sturgis are a great pair. I am surprised they haven't made a movie out of this series yet.

Sadly, Kellerman has gone the way of the formulaic. While still compelling, this was nowhere near the level of suspense his early Alex Delaware novels had. I'm hopeful that "Deception" will return some of that old tension.

I love Alex Delaware but to me it just seems that Kellerman lost his punch.

Took me a little bit to get into this one, but ultimately it paid off. The character development of the suspects again started off in the realm of "possible" and then took a slight turn for the weird and outlandish. Still, it was an easy read and enjoyable.

Detective thriller, with the twist being the detective has a buddy whose a psychologist, and is great at getting people to talk, and detecting odd behaviours. If you want a book that you can 'solve' along with the characters, this one doesn't really go along with that, which is a little annoying. But if you like a good procedural story, this one flips around several lines of enquiry, a couple of Chekov's guns and a gastronomy tour of Milo Sturgis's favourite restaurants.

This book is an easy read with short chapters. That kept me from puting it down more than once. Two bodies are found in an unfinished (for two years) construction site of a mega-mansion in Los Angeles and Milo Sturgis, LAPD, and Alex Delaware, pcyhologist begin to navigate the twists and turns of the investigation. Along the way they deal with eco-terrorists, foreign governments, the FBI, and Homeland Security. An interesting story, but it's not going to nominated for any major literary awards.
