The Web (Alex Delaware, Bk 10)

I have been reading Jonathan Kellerman for quite a few years and at one time being my favorite has moved down on my list. I am still reading his books sparingly in order as I have bought most of his in the Alex Delaware series and try to mix them in with some of my other favorite authors that I read more often. The last two books this one included and Self Defense were read with some difficulty. Not that I didn't find them somewhat enjoyable, but at times the intensity and complexity can get you lost in the book. This one fits the title "The Web" as it involves Kellerman's main character Alex Delaware (phycologist/detective) and his love interest Robin, as they happily embark on what they think of as a job organizing medical files to help a fellow Dr. Woodrow Wilson Mooreland, that is loaded with fringe benefits on a paradise Island of Aruk which they see as a tropical vacation. Soon they find there is much more to this Island and the people that they are sharing it with. Trully a Web loaded with many deep characters and all of whom seem to carry personal baggage that we as readers are left to sort out. At times the book bogs down with too many unanswered questions and with too much previously mentioned baggage. Sometimes the story flows well, then at times frustrated you want answers, also at times the book slows and you wish you could just get through it. Determined I finally made it to the final page, not a quick read, but still worth it to get the answers to the mystery.
