Summary: Survival of the fittest
Review: "Survival of the fittest" was the first book I ever read from Jonathan Kellerman and I must admit I really liked his writing style because he unfolds the story so professionaly."Survival of the fittest"
A cop commits suicide in public.A retarded fifteen years old girl
is found dead. She happens to be the daughter of an Israeli diplomat and (the poor thing doesn't get enough publicity so the killer would be found a bit easier) this is because criminals may get encouraged to target other diplomats children. Later on,
another girl is found dead - and she happens to be just a street girl even though she was strangled to death too...
A detective Milo Sturgis, has all the help he needs to solve these crimes and all that help comes from a psychologist Alex
Delaware... If you enjoy psychological thriller this book wont dissapoint you at all.

Summary: disappointing &lacking in creative antigonist
Review: Although I have always looked forward to the Alex Delaware mystery, Kellerman's latest books are a huge disappointment. Survival of the Fittest had no character development or understanding of its one dimensional antagonists whose motive was 'just because I can'. Such a disappointment. Dr. Kellerman, where are those clever books with credible characters and plausable situations keeping your readers on the edge of their seats? The conclusion of this book was not worthy of the story leading up to it. I miss When the Bough Breaks and many of the earlier stories with psychology woven tightly with the mystery. Please give us real problems with villians we can understand and appreciate. If not, have the bad guys wear mustaches and black hats.

Summary: Not exactly a page-turner
Review: This book dragged a bit. There are lengthy descriptions of one character watching another search the Internet extensively without result, or of a detective making numerous telephone calls that don't produce information. Milo and Alex do a lot of repetitive brainstorming, going over and over and over the same material. As other reviewers have mentioned, the latter half of the investigation doesn't seem exactly linked to the murders. I was surprised to read in the "Top 500" reviewer's response that "A serial killer has been shooting persons with mental and physical challenges." None of the victims are shot.
