excellent narration, good story good characters. I didn't figure anything out until the last disk
I like a good crime drama, and the Alex Delaware books always keep my interest. I also like the way they have designed this book on tape, because I can easily find where I left off if I get a telephone call or such while listening to it.
this book was REALLY long. There was a lot on unnecessary information and too much detail. If I had been actually reading instead of listening I never would have made it through. they could have gotten to the end result a lot faster. A little disappointing.
This was my first book by Johnathan Kellerman and I really enjoyed it.
I usually read the James Patterson or Michael Connelly type crime novels and I can honestly say this novel was in the same league.
