I love the Alex Delaware novels and this one is no exception. I couldn't put it down, as I had to know who did it. I love the scenes in the asylum for the criminally insane. Pyschology in general fascinates me, so any book that has a good portion spent talking with the staff and inmates in an asylum will get me hooked.

Couldn't get into this one.

I thought this was a great book. I really enjoyed reading it. If you like mysterys you'll like this one.

This is a great detective story. People are being murdered in grisly fashion and it leads back to a gruesome murder from years past. I love this book because it is much gorier and twisted than the average detective thriller. I love Agatha Christie-type mysteries, but this is like a horror-mystery combo and it's excellently written. A great read!!!

A second-rate actor is found mutilated in a car trunk. Then a psychologist at a Los Angeles hospital for the criminally insane is murdered in a similar grisly fashion. Suddenly the incoherent ramblings of an inmate at the presumably secure institution begin to make chilling sense - they are, in fact, horrifying predictions. Yet how can a barely functional psychotic locked behind asylum walls possibly know such vivid details of crimes committed in the outside world? Drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, revenge, sex, and manipulation, Dr. Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis set out to unlock this enigma and put an end to the brutal killings - before the madman predicts their own demise...

good book

Kellerman is excellent at pulling you in to a story so deeply that you can't put it down. This was my first book of his and I will definitely be reading more by him.

Shivers down the spine!!!

Alex Delaware is the kind of guy that you'd like to have as a friend.

I'm just about to the middle of this book and I'm finding it a very quick enjoyable read. I didn't want to stop reading last night.

It's hard to praise Jonathan Kellerman adequately without repeating oneself, especially when it comes to another great Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis novel like "Monster". The by-play of psychologist and homicide cop is always intellectually stimulating at the same time it's gut-wrenching. This one finds the pair battling not only the perpetrators but other psychologists who staff a maximum-security facility for the criminally insane with grave indifference (and a little culpability), and similarly indifferent "policing" groups. The bodies pile up and the mystery thickens as we jump from one suspect to another, and in the end despite the careful wrap-up one is invariably caught in a familiar pair of feelings: 'I wish I hadn't read that' battles with 'I'm glad I read that'. And yes, I'll go looking for another in the series.

Oh my goodness such a great book. It had creeped me out so much !!! Great read, highly recommended.

An Alex Delaware novel. Jonathan Kellerman writes another suspenseful, intriguing novel that will cause you to keep the pages turning.
