Book Review of When the Bough Breaks (Alex Delaware, Bk 1)

When the Bough Breaks (Alex Delaware, Bk 1)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


I enjoyed this book. It's the author's first novel (at least in this series) and it shows a bit in the language and character development. It was also written in the late 80s and, while it doesn't seem really dated (save for some accents like decor description), you do have to take it into account when he describes some of the criminology techniques. But it was good. I've already ordered the second book in the series. Kellerman went on to write many of these and according to reviews I've read, they just get better as he gains more experience.

I'd definitely recommend it to people who enjoy crime fiction.
