Product Description

From Amazon.com

Former child psychologist Jonathan Kellerman brings us the 11th installment in the reliable series featuring child psychologist Alex Delaware. Here Delaware teams up again with his old friend Detective Milo Sturgis of the LAPD to investigate the brutal murder of Dr. Hope Devane. Her bestselling book about how men victimize women made her famous; did it also lead to her death? As Sturgis and Delaware begin probing into the details of her life, they find more and more secrets and slowly close in on a killer filled with hate. As usual, Kellerman combines convincing psychological portraits with good dialogue and a plot that coils to a tense finish. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

From Publishers Weekly

Kellerman is at his page-turning best in his latest Alex Delaware adventure (after The Web), an investigation into the savage stabbing murder of Hope Devane, a psychology professor and celebrity author. The LAPD, unable to solve the case after three months, reassigns it to Lieutenant Milo Sturgis. Milo calls on his friend Alex, a compassionate, astute psychologist, for insight into the victim, who had a seemingly routine academic career and marriage until writing a pop-psych relationship book. Delving beneath the veneer of Hope's life, Alex uncovers possible enemies: a man with whom she clashed on a TV talk show; students brought before her committee on sexual harassment; patients at a beleaguered women's health clinic where she volunteered. Further questions are raised about the victim's relationships with her doctoral supervisee Casey Locking; about the fertility specialist, from whom she received hefty consultation fees; about her sex life; about a shadowy link to an organized crime figure and the murder of a Las Vegas call girl. Each new avenue of investigation leads Alex and Milo to a dead end until they reach back into Hope Devane's childhood, which reveals links to the present that provide the shocking answer to the puzzle. Kellerman may not be a great stylist, but his serpentine plot and cast of mysterious characters grip the reader to the final page. Major ad/promo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Breezy Summer Fare, Jun 12 2004

By	A Discerning Reader (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Clinic (Mass Market Paperback)

Kellerman's education and experience in psychology help make his characters, and especially his villains, more believable and engaging.

This one is pretty interesting. The hero, Alex Delaware, seems to have no psychology practice obligations other than doing detective/police-procedural work for Milo Sturgis. That's just fine, but it makes Delaware's character seem more unremarkable and superficial. The criminal's reasoning for perpetrating his mayhem and his modus operandi are only moderately convincing.

This book is 3/5 stars because it's fun with a few minor hangups. It can easily be put down and picked up again, and you won't get any goosebumps or harrowing realizations from the plot.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not pleased, Feb 5 2004

By	Gule Sheikh "gule_1999" (Toronto, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Clinic (Mass Market Paperback)

I started reading the book anticipating a great mystery/detective novel, However, it first took me some time to get into it(about half way) and I still found it to be a dry read. I was expecting a page turning, exciting and mysterious book, but instead I found that the parts of the book that were meant to be exciting and mysterious, would be boring and found myself dosing off. A good book makes you stay up, regardless of how tired you actually are. I will give Mr. Kellerman the benefit of the doubt and will read another book by him, but I definately cannot say I loved this book. It was a very dry read...

4.0 out of 5 stars The CD Audio Book is not UNABRIDGED!, Feb 4 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Clinic (Audio CD)

I enjoyed this book but unfortunately at the very end I was informed in the credits that this is an ABRIDGED book. I called the publisher and they confirmed that despite not having a label saying it was abridged it was in fact was. I informed Amazon of the issue but they continue to advertise this as unabridged. Be warned.
