Betty S. (booklluv) - , reviewed The Conspiracy Club by Johathan Kellerman on 9/5/2008 + 15 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 3

This excellent book introduces a new, young psychologist, Dr. Jeremy Carrier. (One of the few Kellerman books that does not use Alex Delaware) Dr. Carrier had a brief affair with a nurse, Jocelyn Banks, which ended abruptly by her kidnapping and subsequent murder. The boyfriend is always the first suspect! This is true for Carrier When another woman is murdered in a similar fashion, the police detective again looks at Carrier. During the investigation an eccentric physician, Dr. Arthur Chess, takes an interest in Carrier. He invites him to a late-night supper attended by four other guests, all of whom have mysterious backgrounds. Carrier gets the impression that he is there to be observed and evaluated. Following the supper a series of strange messages and seemingly unconnected articles begin arriving for Carrier on the hospital message system. Carrier is a empathetic psychologist, a master at sharing emotion with his patients, but he is no detective; however, to clear himself of suspicion before the true murderer strikes another woman close to him, he must solve the crime. Kellerman, a master of suspence, has done it again. We will surely see Dr. Carrier in future Kelleman novels.
