The Clinic

Summary: A rivetting read as can be expected from Kellerman
Review: I have loved all Kellerman's books expect "The Butcher's Theatre". "The Clinic" draws you in almost immediately because you like Alex Delaware so much and also his love interest Robin. You like Alex so much you want him to succeed and solve the mystery surrounding Hope Devane's murder. You also can't help liking Alex's friend Milo the gay detective even though he is a little ragged around the edges (his sexuality notwithstanding). I love the way Kellerman throws you red herrings but ties everything together neatly at the climax. I always find myself in the position of not being able to wait until his next book comes out.

Summary: "The Clinic"
Review: Jonathan Kellerman's "The Clinic" was a very inspiring book to read. His books are long, but when you start reading it, time just flies by and you don't want to put it down. This is one of the first books that I have read by Jonathan Kellerman and I'm sure it won't be my last. In "The Clinic" the book gives great detail in many things, while Alex & Milo try to solve who killed author/professor Hope Devane. The book is a very good book to read and I suggest for everyone to read it, because you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Breezy Summer Fare
Review: 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.
