I have no idea why I've never read any of Jonathan Kellerman's books. I also don't know how this one ended up on my shelf but, but I'm certainly glad it did. This is part of a series featuring psychologist Alex Davenport. This isn't the first or the last, however. In this one, Eldon Mate was infamous for his euthanasia of the terminally ill. Only now he's the victim and it wasn't a nice, peaceful death. Kellerman is prolific and I'm off to find another of his.

I finished reading this 4 cassette 6 hour audiobook on the way back from Iowa City in the car (approximately 1/10/2008) The first tape starts out with a bang and grabs your attention which is something I like a lot. The reader is John Rubinstein who makes the book enjoyable because of his powerful voice. I enjoyed the entire book, although there were a lot of characters that made it hard to keep track of who did what.

I listened to this book on tape because Eddie had it. I had a hard time following all the people and activities in which they were involved. I think it would have been much easier to follow had I read it in print, but it's not the genre of book I'd normally read.

This was my first Alex novel. Some guuest left it in the hotel I was working at and so I had just had to read it. I was instantly hooked. I read what I can, when I can.

This is another good Alex Delaware book. Jonathan Kellerman is absolutely amazing, I love the way he interweaves all these plots to come out with brilliant endings.

Audiobook, a typically enjoyable Alex Delaware thriller. I listened to the entire book on my 11 hour drive home from vacation.

Much better. This one kept me more on the edge of my seat like I'm used to. Kept me awake late. Milo and Alex were a hit again.

Good characters easy to loose yourself in Kellerman's writings. I've read every book in the Alex Delaware series and enjoyed them all.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought this book was positively awful. Really. I managed to finish it but it was a trial.

I started a reread of this one, but I remembered who did it, so I put it back until I forget.
