Going through a "catch up with series" phase, I thought I hadn't read this one, but part way through, realised that I had (but couldn't remember whodunnit), so I took to the end.

Another multi threaded Alex Delaware book, this time involving a high murder count, eco-terrorism, multi agency work - including an appearance by FBI.

There are few appearances from Robin (for once they're not falling out, or getting back together, or she has a weird commission). More appearances from Blanche the dog however.

This is one of the harder books to review - it's not bad, but it's not brilliant either. This is probably why I cant remember reading it. ( )

When Lieutenant Milo Sturgis gets called out to investigate a double homicide, he invites Dr. Alex Delaware, an LAPD consulting psychologist, to accompany him to the crime scene. What comes after is Milo's investigation into a group of eco-terrorists while Alex tags along to observe. I love this series, but this book's plot was far-fetched and boring. Also, there's minimal action. Its semi-redeeming quality was the humorous dialog that Mr. Kellerman is so good at. ( )

A security guard keeping watch on an abandon mega house construction site, on arriving at work discovers a young couple murdered and then posed in the embrace of having intercourse. The male's identity is quickly determined but the woman takes days as she has had her identity wiped as if she was some secret agent. Detective Milo Sturgis gets the case and brings along his friend, psychologist Alex Delaware.

As they work their way through the twists and turns of the evidence, they discover a plot by eco-terrorits to burn expensive building projects as a protest. One target is a a wealthy, powerful sultan from Indonesia who is also target by a Swiss woman because he had her sister killed in an unrelated incident.

A fast moving plot with many twists and turns and as in real life, not all the the problems have a solution or answer. ( )

Evidence is a good story. It is always interesting how there is no evidence and the characters or rather author is able to build upon theories, interviews, bits of evidence to figure out who was murdered and who was the murderer. The book has believable characters, settings and all around is just a good story. The book received four stars in this review. ( )

It's been a long time since I've read one of Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware books. I forgot how much I enjoyed them. Listening was just like eating candy. ( )
