Not my favorite Alex Delaware novel...I did not like the ending. It does keep your interest and has some twists and turns.

One of Kellerman's early Alex Delaware book. As usual, he manages to weave together an incredible mystery. The solution is not until the final page. He is very clever on his development of characters. As usual, a good read.

Interesting storyline and plenty of plot twists and turns. This was my first Kellerman novel of the Alex Delaware series. It's fine to read out of order and has led me to wanting to read more of his novels.

Professor Hope Devane's male-bashing pop-psych bestseller created a storm of controversy on the talk-show circuit. Now she is dead, brutally slashed on a quiet street in one of the LA's safest neighborhoods. The LAPD's invetigation has gone cold, and homicide detective Milo Sturgis turns to his friend Dr. Alex Delaware for a physchological profile of the victim - and a portrait of a killer. Hope Devane had very different public and private faces. The killer could be any one of the millions who read her book, or someone from the personal life she kept so carefully separate. As Alex and Milo dig deeper into her shadowy past, they will set an elaborate trap for her killer..and reveal the unspeakable act that trigger a dark chain of violence.

Written in 1996--a Dr. Alex Delaware mystery.

The first half of this book was extremely slow for me. It was filled with a hand full of suspects and a lot of dead ends which I'm sure in reality, for a detective, working a cold case actually happens but for a reader it makes for some slow reading. Almost gave up on it a few times because it was moving at such a slow pace for me but I kept after it. I'm glad I did because it turned into quite a different story than I was expecting. This was my first time reading anything by Jonathan Kellerman and I don't think it'll be the last.

Not a psychological thriller in my opinion. Too many people introduced before any action commenced. Also way to discriptive. One of the most boring books I have read.

starts out boring and stays boring, not a good beginning to keep your attention for very long. this character doesn't 'grow' and all the clinician talk is very hard to follow and makes it uninteresting

From Publishers Weekly
Kellerman is at his page-turning best in his latest Alex Delaware adventure (after The Web), an investigation into the savage stabbing murder of Hope Devane, a psychology professor and celebrity author. The LAPD, unable to solve the case after three months, reassigns it to Lieutenant Milo Sturgis. Milo calls on his friend Alex, a compassionate, astute psychologist, for insight into the victim, who had a seemingly routine academic career and marriage until writing a pop-psych relationship book. Delving beneath the veneer of Hope's life, Alex uncovers possible enemies: a man with whom she clashed on a TV talk show; students brought before her committee on sexual harassment; patients at a beleaguered women's health clinic where she volunteered. Further questions are raised about the victim's relationships with her doctoral supervisee Casey Locking; about the fertility specialist, from whom she received hefty consultation fees; about her sex life; about a shadowy link to an organized crime figure and the murder of a Las Vegas call girl. Each new avenue of investigation leads Alex and Milo to a dead end until they reach back into Hope Devane's childhood, which reveals links to the present that provide the shocking answer to the puzzle. Kellerman may not be a great stylist, but his serpentine plot and cast of mysterious characters grip the reader to the final page. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

A psychological thriller with a good plot. Big book that's hard to put down until you finish. Love it!
