Book Reviews of A Cold Heart (Alex Delaware, Bk 17)

Jonathon Kellerman's books are all enjoyable. This book was a little slower than some; but still a great read.

An Alex Delaware Novel.

Excellent Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis book

A little hard to follow, but a good read nonetheless.

I enjoyed this book. I like how the author integrated music into the plot. It was my first "Alex Delaware" novel, but not my last.

If you like the Alex Delaware series-you will really enjoy this one.

I love this author and this series. Alex Delaware used to be a little on the dry side but the author is really starting to develop and explore his feelings and emotional depth. This installment moves things right along.

Another Alex Delaware, Milo nad Petra mystery. Easy read, thoroughly enjoyable

Getting sick of Robbin, get her out of there

The Alex Delaware novels are very interesting, both in the crime/thriller story and the personal knowledge of characters. I recommend any of J. Kellerman's books.

LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis summons his friend, psychologist-sleuth Alex Delaware, to a trendy gallery where a promising young artist has been brutally garroted on the night of her first major showing. The details of the murder scene immediately suggest to Alex not an impulsive crime of passion, but the meticulous and taunting modus operandi of a serial killer. Delaware's suspicions are borne out when he and Milo find there's a link between the artist's death and the murder of a noted blues guitarist. The twisting trail leads from halfway houses to palatial mansions, and from a college campus to the last place Alex ever expected: the doorstep of his ex-lover Robin Castagna. AS more killings are discovered, unraveling the maddening puzzle assumes a chilling new importance-stopping a vicious psychopath who's made cold-blood murder his chosen art form.

Alex and Milo work together once again. A simple homicide that has sexual overtones prompts Milo to ask Alex for his opinion. Alex feels it is the work of a serial killer and he proves to be right. Milo and Alex working with Petra and Eric (Petra's stoic, taciturn partner) to find the perpetrator. The hunt takes them to private ballet performances, soup kitchens and wealthy people. The killer seems to enjoy snuffing out the lives of those in the arts who are on the verge of getting famous. The book was good and the ending was one of the better ones of Mr. Kellerman. My only complaint about his books that he spends way too much time describing scenes and it ends up distracting me. The book is 413 pages and at least a 100 pages of it are not necessary.

enjoyed it

If you haven' ever read Alex Delaware, go for it!

Cold Heart, the latest thriller from bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman, Dr. Alex Delaware picks up on clues missed even by his closest friend, LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. Leave it to this canny shrink to figure out that the only thing two otherwise unconnected murder victims have in common (they're both artists making comebacks after early career burnouts) may hold the key to their deaths. Even for Alex, this unlikely link is a stretch, especially since Baby Boy Lee was stabbed outside a nightclub and Julie Kipper was bludgeoned in the bathroom of an art gallery. But when a concert pianist dies on the eve of his greatest triumph, Alex is sure that the murders are not only the work of the same killer but also connected to the unsolved slayings of a Boston ballerina and an L.A. rock singer. By an even greater coincidence, two of the victims were tangentially involved with Alex's former lover, Robin Castagna, which provides the good doctor a few well placed paragraphs to ruminate on what went wrong in their romance as well as rescue her from the serial murderer who's targeted her as his next victim.

I love Jonathan Kellerman, but I just couldn't seem to get into this book. It didn't get my attention until the last few pages.

A classic whodunit, The people are as interesting as the crime solving.
