Serpentine - Jonathan Kellerman
She read
Publication Date:Feb. 2, 2021
I am a big fan of Jonathan Kellerman’s Alex Delaware series; I have read all of them.
I always enjoy joining old friends and colleagues Milo Sturgis and Alex, detective and psychologist, as they drive and eat together, uncovering information, sharing and revising theories. I think Serpentine might be one of my favorites.
The case this time is a cold one. Milo is tasked with finding what happened to a woman shot and burned more than thirty years ago. The case resurfaces because her daughter, wealthy and with influential connections, wants to know more about her mother.
Kellerman writes true police procedurals, albeit a little different due to Milo being unconventional and Alex along to provide psychological insight. True, they do tend to be a bit formulaic, as Alex and Milo chase down leads, generate and discuss different theories, interview persons of interest, enjoy a few good meals. Kellerman’s descriptions are particularly picturesque and entertaining and he always seems to put a fresh spin on cases.
Yes, this can be read as a standalone, but if you are familiar with this series, it is always enjoyable to meet up with these familiar characters.
