Books by Jonathan Kellerman

Book

Víctimas (2012)

Simply just not my favorite Jonathon Kellerman book. Kept my attention early but seemed to become gruesome simply for the sake of being gruesome. Bordered more on the fringes of a horror novel than a mystery and consequently lost my interest. I love a clever mystery, but when books get their atte...

Book

Victims (2012)

This is the first Kellerman novel I have read, and I expected it to be really good considering the number of books in this genre that he has published, but I was left unimpressed. The plot was mind-numbingly boring until halfway through, and then only got somewhat exciting at about 3/4 through. T...

Book

Mystery (2011)

I did not finish reading "Mystery." It is the first Jonathan Kellerman book that I have not completed, and I have read most of them.I found the book to be boring with no real substance; it is a pro-forma performance. Very template oriented writing. I don't know if this is an anomaly for Kellerman...

Book

True Detectives (2009)

This was a book in the Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis series, but not really. They were scarcely in it. Instead it focuses on two new characters, brothers we met in the last of Kellerman's books. One is a PI and one is a homicide detective, now under Milo. These guys are both more likeable than Alex ...

Book

Gone (2007)

Ah, el hard-boiled fiction… Otro de los grandes subgéneros industriales de hoy en día. En el marco de un asesinato añádase al detective una falla personal, un cierto número de demonios personales y una vida aburrida y odiosa y sobretodo, desenmascárese el crimen con toda su brutal realidad y tene...

Book

Double Homicide (2015)

Short novellas disappoint -- we wanted Decker & Alex !!We were so excited to learn that two of our favorite authors -- Faye and Jonathan Kellerman (husband and wife as well) -- had teamed up to write "a novel" entitled Double Homicide. We were all set for a sparkling Alex Delaware (on one murder)...

Book

Over the Edge (2004)

The third book in the Alex Delaware series is called Over The Edge and was originally published in 1987. While I enjoyed the story overall, I had a hard time getting into this one. This was partly due to the setup of the book and the slow start to the narrative, and partly due to the fact that in...

Book

Self-Defense (2002)

Psychologist Alex Delaware takes on a new patient when a policeman friend refers him to a young woman who served on the jury of a serial murderer’s trial. Lucy Lowell has been having a recurring dream wherein she is four years old, in the woods, watching three men carry a young woman who appears...

Book

When the Bough Breaks (2003)

Jonathan Kellerman began the Alex Delaware series in 1985 with the 29th book in the series scheduled for publication in early 2014. This review is being written in January 2014. I have a bookshelf of Alex Delaware books as I went on a used book buying binge after I first discovered Kellerman. I r...

Book

Survival of the Fittest (2002)

Woo hoo! Outstanding! Fantastic! Marvelous! Phenomenal! Knocked it out of the park!I thought Alex bought it this time! (Ok, that was true hyperbole - I'm looking at ten more paperbacks to go in the series on my floor - ; D )Anyway. I loved loved loved loved loved this one! Very exciting, couldn't...

Book

The Conspiracy Club (2004)

New shrink doc a lot like old one, but decent story awaits...Feeling that the Alex Delaware series has lost a great deal of zest in recent books, we snapped up this latest Kellerman on learning it featured a completely new leading man, psychologist Jeremy Carrier. This doc practices on staff at a...

Book

The Butcher's Theater (2003)

Typically, once I have begun a series, I much prefer the author to produce within the canon. After all, publishing a book outside the series takes time away from the characters I’ve become entranced with. Nevertheless, I can hardly condemn a wrier to a life of tedious enslavement to their creatio...

Book

Obsession (2007)

This is my first Kellerman novel and perhaps my last. I can see how Kellerman can be successful. He has appealing characters, offers good psychological insights on their motivations, and is good at plotting. This book started out in an extremely promising manner. I loved the way Kellerman introdu...

Book

Bad Love (2003)

I NEITHER HIDE, NOR FEED, MY REVIEWS. THEY MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.This is my second Kellerman novel. I' m really liking his work!I love the device of seeing criminal investigation through the eyes of a child psychologist, Alex Delaware. All the criminal forensics are there, but the crimes at times ...

Book

Billy Straight (1999)

This is the best novel Jonathan Kellerman has ever written. It is a Detective Petra Connor book, the first, I think, of a new series. Delaware, Kellerman's bread and butter character, is mentioned in the last chapter only, so, yes, they live in the same universe.Want to read a book that gives an...

Book

The Clinic (2002)

I don't know why, but this reminded me somewhat of Miami Vice. Everyone is a player. Except for one young woman, a rape victim. Everyone else not playing is excusing the player's behavior, twisted as it is, because the players also do some good, as if it made it all balance out. As if. Reading t...

Book

Capital Crimes (2006)

Two stories by two excellent writers. At first, I was expecting to find a separate novella from each, featuring their signature characters - but I was pleased to find that each introduced a new set of characters.The two novellas shared a couple of attributes that I like in my reading:a) The sett...

Book

Savage Spawn: Reflections on Violent Children (1999)

“The noblest of all studies,” said Plato, “is the study of what man is and of what life he should live.” But what do we do when, long before boy becomes man, life turns dark and thoroughly wrong? Psychiatrist and mystery writer Kellerman wrote this brief work for a general audience in response ...

Book

The Murder Book (2015)

I'm relatively new to Jonathan Kellerman, in fact this is only the second or third of his Alex Delaware novels that I have read. Looking through some of the reviews of this 16th instalment in the series, prior to reading it, this may well have been to my advantage. Unlike some of the other review...

Book

Time Bomb (2003)

Book five in my Kellerman Reread is also the fifth book in the Alex Delaware series. Time Bomb deals with what looks like a school sniping avant la lettre, but it is anything but. However, the more I read these books written in the Eighties the more I’m shocked by how little some of the issues ha...

Book

The Web (2003)

Kellerman's Delaware mysteries always teeter towards soap opera and occasionally fall in. This is one that fell. Depending on you, the reader, that can be either good or bad. For me, the other elements either make the book good or bad. I like 'The Web'. Another element is that Kelleman's plots a...

Book

Blood Test (2003)

I enjoyed this book as much as the first one in the series. Even though the first book explodes and hightails it all the way to the end; this second one is just as brilliant but it starts as a few waves lapping at your ankles to a furious storm and then a calm ocean night. The way Kellerman can g...

Book

Devil's Waltz (2003)

Phew! By the hair of my chinny-chin-chin I finished this in time for book group. Woo! And after hearing why E chose this book (because of her own personal experiences with a relative who suffers from Munchausen disorder, as well as the fact that she didn't realize it was in a series), I can even ...
