Book Description

Publication Date: Dec 1994 | Series: Alex Delaware Novels
It came in a plain brown wrapper, no return  address--an audiocassette recording of a horrifying,  soul-lacerating scream, followed by the sound of a  childlike voice chanting: "Bad love. Bad love.  Don't give me the bad love... ". For Alex  Delaware the tape is the first intimation that he is  about to enter a living nightmare. Others soon  follow: disquieting laughter echoing over a phone  line that suddenly goes dead, a chilling act of  trespass and vandalism. He has become the target of a  carefully orchestrated campaign of vague threats  and intimidation rapidly building to a crescendo as  harassment turns to terror, mischief to madness.  With the help of his friend LAPD detective Milo  Sturgis, Alex uncovers a series of violent deaths  that may follow a diabolical pattern. And if he fails  to decipher the twisted logic of the stalker's  mind games, Alex will be the next to die. Taut,  penetrating, terrifying, Bad Love is  vintage Kellerman.

Also available on BDD Audio Cassette.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read but a little slow to start and quick to finish 19 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book takes a little time to get going as we are introduced to a few seemingly unrelated fragments of information about 'Bad Love'. Although it can get a little confusing keeping track of all the people involved, a story is slowly revealed of a serial killer targeting psychologists seemingly unrelated except for a single academic conference. As Alex Delaware struggles to understand who and why the race is on to stop the next murder and his own. The last 50 pages seem to satisfy the mystery just a little too quickly, but overall the book is a good read and I hope to keep reading more of Jonathan Kellerman's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising addition. 17 July 2004
By Mr. D. Lawrie
Format:Paperback
Having read all of the Alex Delaware books before this one in sequence I wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary. I have liked all of them (so far), but none of them stood out as great to me.

This one changed that, to me it was the best of the lot, there is a genuine sense of impending tragedy about the whole thing, as the plot creeps forwards.

It's probably because it isn't like the others in that it isn't based around a patient that Delaware is currently treating, instead he appears to be being stalked by a killer. Excellent stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Read!! 8 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I first read this book after I borrowed it to take on holiday. I'd read other books like this and I hoped that this one wouldn't disappoint. It didn't. I could not put this book down and I had finished it in 2 days.

It follows a criminal psychologist called Alex Delaware who gets sent a tape of a child screaming the words 'Bad Love'. Other strange things begin to happen and Delaware has to rack his brains to find out where he has heard the words 'Bad Love' mentioned before it's too late and he becomes the next victim...

Gripping from start to finish, a must read for any fans of psychological thrillers.
