Summary: Not as good as "The Clinic"...
Review: ...but still a pretty good read. Very unexpected twist right at the end to what was an extremely psychological story. Recommended book, but not as highly as "The Clinic".

Summary: Pretty good story,
Review: but not nearly as good as several other Jonathan Kellerman books I have read. This one is interesting as it really gets into some pyschology. Dr. Alex Delaware breaks away from his usual work and takes on a private patient... a young woman, Lucy. She had been on jury duty full of horrible and frightening details and she is now suffering from a very troublesome dream. As Alex works with her he begins to wonder if her dream stems from a childhood memory and he starts to dig deeper. He finds out that Lucy has had a very difficult and sad life. This mystery novel takes us into con-men's games, pay-offs and multi-murders. Plenty of people have things to hide and Alex and Milo uncover them. At one point Alex's life is on the line! Happy reading!

Summary: My favourite Delware book so far
Review: I loved this book. Previously, "Bad Love" And "Private Eyes" had been favourites, but now this one in his great series has usurped both absolutely. These few books after "Private Eyes" seem to have achieved a greater maturity than some of his earlier ones, and it benefits them very well, lifting from five star great reads to ive start great books. He is [occasionally] able to create characters who seem so real and normal but have such great psychological depth that they are absolutely fantastic. In any other novel they might be dull, but because of Kellerman's probing and analytical style that become 3D and interesting. The plot here is basically summarised thus: Alex Delware is treating Lucy Lowell, having been referred to him by his friend Ilio Sturgis, a police Detective. Lucy was a juror in the trial of a vicious serial killer, and helped to put him away. Now, the horrid details of his killings are disturbing her, coming back to haunt her. But, then, something far more sinister emerges during her therapy...She has been having a disturbing recurring dream - which Alex thinks is likely to have been stimulated by memories awoken by events of the trial - about a young girl, alone in the woods, a secret witness to three men disposing of the body of a young woman... It's a cracking plot, it really is. Kellerman builds it up so that it's all very satisying. It weaves in and out of itself like a complex tapestry. The pace is absolutely perfect, and the reader is compelled to keep returning eagerly to the book after having put it down. Delware is a good central character, and is keep nicely fresh because of the continuous movement of his personal relationship with girlriend Robin (soon, though, more than this will be required to stop him from going stale in a few books time, but, for now, he's quite quite safe). I'd reccomend this to every lover of thrillers and crime/mystery novels. It's the best of the series so far, which means that it is absolutely excellent.

Summary: If you are looking for a nice series to get into....
Review: If u like a series novelist, Mr Kellerman is just what the good doctor ordered. Kellerman paints vivid portraits of suffering and healing like nobody else in the fiction biz!!! He is a clever and witty narrator that is good at detailing "real life" accounts. This guy could be called "The Mailman" because he delivers. I know, I know it's a cliche but Kellerman is that damn good (sorry HHH)!!! He is very good at describing his characters and keeping the story flowing at a nice pace. Like his wife, he is just an excellent writer, I know I am laying it on kind of thick, but READ him and u will find out for yourself!!! As usual his stories carry an underlying socio-logical message. He writes with the precision of a surgeon and is just great at documenting the human condition that is life. His book's are always enjoyable and I am surprised they aren't turned into movies. That is the way his novels read. Smooth like JD on ice!!!

Summary: A DEFINITE PAGE-TURNER
Review: Just when I was to set the book down, another twist comes up. Then I find myself turning 20 or so pages on and on. Kellerman makes you flip pages through the night and read so much you'll wake up with big eyebugs. ehehehe. Wonderful.

Summary: NIGHTMARE SEQUENCE
Review: Lucy Lowell is literally living a nightmare. Her mother died when she was a child, her brother became a drug addict and her father, a disgusting, vile recluse was an aging 1960s flower child. He is singularly foul in appearance, hygiene (he is incontinent and wheelchair bound) and speech. He lives a reclusive life with a private nurse, bitter about having to provide skilled nursing care. A serial killer invades Lucy's life. A disgusting creature, not too different in temperament from her father, the killer mutilates people and befouls their bodies. Lucy had to sit on the jury of this case. She has recurring nightmares about these issues and Dr. Delaware is called in to investigate. He unearths a series of murder, extortion and mistaken identity cases. Each mystery is a segue to the next and in this book, the conclusion is plausible and satisfactory. Another positive note is that Robin, Delaware's live in girlfriend has more or less receded to the background. I never cared for Robin and never felt she contributed to any of the Alex Delaware stories in any meaningful way.
