HTML:The bestselling author of When The Bough Breaks, Blood Test, and Over The Edge delivers the most stunning novel yet and featuring psychologist-detective Dr. Alex Delaware. At a party for a controversial Los Angeles sex therapist, Alex encounters a face from his own pastâ??Sharon Ransom, an exquisite, alluring lover who left him abruptly more than a decade earlier. Sharon now hints that he desperately needs help, but Alex evades her. The next day she is dead, an apparent suicide. Driven by guilt and sadness, Alex plunges into the maze of Sharon's lifeâ??a journey that will take him through the pleasure palaces of California's ultra-rich, into the dark closets of a family's disturbing past, and finally into the alleyways of the mind, where childhood terrors still hold sway.
Silent Partner is a good example of an author being puppet master with his characters in order to lengthen the story. It is also an example of the more you write the better you get. Through the years the character of Alex Delaware and Milo Sturges become more defined. A lot of time is spent on describing characters in the book. The story is difficult to follow because of all of the descriptions of people. Only three stars were awarded in this review because the story was so draining to the reader. It was not a believable story. ( )
So I liked the general theme of twins. Is there such a thing as the evil twin? And the ambiguity in the story. Is it a story of twins, or a story of multiple personality, or both? Who knows. Dr. Delaware manages to solve the mystery although I don't really know how. The story is so convoluted and goes back through history to find the true identity of the victim. So overall this was a confusing read for me, but I still enjoyed it because it was so weird. ( )
his mystery is easy to get into, but hard to get out of! Jonathan Kellerman keeps digging this "mystery hole"... you feel that you'll never find the ending with all the twists and turns and new information that Alex uncovers! Great book... completely engrossing! ( )

I've always hated parties and, under normal circumstances, never would have attended the one on Saturday.

In simple terms, the subconscious is a psychic storage bin. That part of our mind where we put experiences and feelings we don't want to deal with. When our defenses are down, the bin tips over and some of the stored material spills out -- dreams, fantasies, seemingly irrational or even self-destructive behaviors that we call symptoms
