She read
Can it be that this is the 40th book in the Alex Delaware series? I have read all of them. Obviously, I enjoy the investigative duo of Detective Milo Sturgis and psychologist Alex Delaware, as well as all the supporting characters and look forward to each new addition. Whenever I open a Kellerman book, I can’t seem to put it down.
A young woman who was drugged is found dead. Soon after, the main suspect is discovered shot through his neck. The bullet that killed him matches an earlier murder and the investigative team suspect other deaths may be tied to the same killer. What do the victims have in common that will help them find the shooter?
Kellerman writes true police procedurals, albeit a little different due to Milo being unconventional and Alex along to provide psychological insight. They tend to have a familiar rhythm, as the duo 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, if you are unfamiliar with this series and enjoy police procedurals, do yourself a favor and read some of the earlier ones as well.
Thanks to #NetGalley and @randomhouse for the DRC.
