Great service Apr 27, 2009 Thank you for the book as you described it. And very speedy delivery.
Would do business again.
Not Bad.. Jan 19, 2009 This is my first Alex Delaware novel so I have nothing to compare to. I found the book a little slow to develop, but overall a good mystery. I liked the main characters & would read other Delaware novels if given the chance. The book got better as it got closer to the end & had a satisfying ending.
Kellerman Needs to Dump Alex Delaware (For A While) ! Jan 11, 2009 Having read several of the novels in this series, I have found them to become very rote. I think it would serve Mr. Kellerman well to maybe attempt a novel with Milo Sturgis, the gay detective in this series, as the lead character. I am sure JK could create a pretty interesting story around Milo who at this point in time is still one of the more interesting characters in this series. Specifically in terms of "Compulsion," a series of three murders (a young sales clerk, a retired teacher, and two hairdressers) takes place. Additionally a sub-plot exists whereas a young boy is missing. Of course, Alex and Milo bring to a close all of the incidences as they put together some far-fetched clues and then the story ends. This reader would sure like to see a story with Milo (and his life partner, Dr. Rick Silverman) in the lead, and maybe JK can send Alex on vacation for a while.

The bar has dropped Dec 30, 2008 While I have read every J Kellerman book, the plots have become less plausible, hence, less enjoyable. While Milo remains one of the most interesting characgers in suspense fiction, Dr. Delaware is losing his alure. Kellerman can still write, but the premise of the books needs re-examination or the story line strengthened.

worked for me...kinda Dec 08, 2008 ya know...i read these books when i need to unplug from the chaos of my life. so i don't require a lot, just some interesting characters (alex and especially milo qualify), some plot tension and enough detail to keep me involved but not too much as to require full engagement, know what i mean? so that being said, this book was fine with me. i sat down and read it in three hours and felt a little refreshed for having done it. however...the concept of how alex links these murders together is ridiculous. so, for you folks that need the story to work, you will be disappointed. but for me, i wasn't asking for much. so it was fine. cheers.
