Alex Delaware is the kind of guy that you'd like to have as a friend.
I love Alex Delaware novels and this one didn't disappoint.
At a party for a controversial Los Angeleas sex therapist, Alex Delaware encounters a face from his own past-Sharon Ransom, an exquisite, alluring lover who left him abruptly more than a decade earlier. Sharon now hints that she desperately needs help, but Alex evades her: the next day she is dead, an apparent suicide. But was it?
Much more compelling than some of the recent Alex Delaware novels, which I found tiresome. Just a bit too detailed descriptions of sex for my taste, though.
Hated this book. The filth in which Alex gets involved is just too dismal, distasteful, and disgusting for me to finish it. I normally enjoy Alex Delaware stories, but not this time.
Dr. Alex Delaware is drawn into a case invlolving an old flame. He sees her at party and is taken down memory lane. The next thing that he knows he is in the middle of a invesagation questining his actions from years before and did he do the right things then and now.
Professional review:
By Andrea Egger, author of Grave Accusations (Gallup, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This is my first J. Kellerman book, and WOW, this writer has me hooked already. The book has it all -- romance, rejection, confusion, a woman involved in pornography, there's blackmail, problems at the job level, issues with professional personalities in scholastic settings that are not so professional, and an interesting question -- which woman do you believe? And both women appear to share the same body.
This had me going from the first page to the last. Foreshadowing even kept you guessing -- you knew what was going to happen, or did you? Just when you thought, "I got it!" he added another twist to the plot. I was unprepared for the ending, as was the author's intention. I recently obtained another J. Kellerman book and am trying to hurry through my other stack of books so I can get to it! (Oh, I might just have to sneak it in there sooner....)
The characterization -- awesome. You feel like Alex is your best friend, or maybe even YOU, in another life. The descriptions make the reader feel THAT close to Alex. Excitement in this book never ends. I was annoyed when it ended because I wanted more, more, more! You must read this book and have the ride of your life, or at least your book-reading life. I have students who think reading is boring. Clearly, they've never read Jonathan Kellerman!
