'This book will not disappoint. Kellerman is the world's number one psychological thriller writer, delivering book after book, much to the delight of his huge readership... Tense stuff' Publishing News 12/9/03 -- Publishing News 20030912
Product Description
'Kellerman always delivers the goods' Independent on Sunday on Jonathan Kellerman's latest pyschological blockbuster, BONES
When psychologist Dr Jeremy Carrier's romance with nurse Jocelyn Banks is cut short by her kidnapping and brutal murder, he is left emotionally devastated and being watched by police seeking a prime suspect in the unsolved killing. When more women turn up murdered in the same gruesome fashion, the only way for Jeremy to prove his innocence is to follow the trail of a cunning psychopath.
Spurring on Jeremy's investigation is Dr Arthur Chess, an enigmatic pathologist who draws Jeremy into the confidence of a cryptic society. But when Arthur suddenly slips away, Jeremy is left to contend with an onslaught of anonymous clues - and the growing realization that a harrowing game of cat and mouse has been started.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Kellerman at his best!,
By
This review is from: The Conspiracy Club (Hardcover)
I thought that I was not going to enjoy this novel very much because of the change in main character. I haven't read all the Delaware novels yet, but I enjoyed enormously those I have read. In the Conspiracy Club Kellerman sticks to what has made him a best-selling author...a psychologist involved in a mystery as main character. After his girlfriend is murdered in a gruesome manner, Dr. Jeremy Carrier is considered the main suspect by the police. As other girls are murdered this suspicion intensifies and Jeremy finds himself looking for the killer with the help of a stranger that sends anonymous messages and clues to him through the hospital mail. The clues started coming after he was invited to a "secret" dinner by one of the doctors on staff, Dr. Chess. In this dinner Jeremy met four very intriguing elderly people that piqued his curiosity and whose backgrounds are part of the solution to the mystery. The novel is very well written and keeps you on edge, presenting a considerable variety of suspects and a very interesting plot. I couldn't put it down!

3.0 out of 5 stars
maybe one for the boys?,
By
This review is from: The Conspiracy Club (Paperback)
Sorry if my title sounds sexist but I do like crime but this one just wasn't one for me. It was my first dip into his work and although it won't be the last, I won't rush out for any more. I found the vocabulary choices quite inappropriate at times and high class words stood out like a sore thumb. I didn't feel it lived up to the blurb.
Dr Jeremy Carrier did not appeal to me as a character at all. The only one who did was Dr Arthur Chess. Carrier often has an inner dialogue which became quite irritating. The plot, although formulaic, did keep me reading. Basically, Carrier is given clues to a series of murders carried out in the same gruesom fashipn as his girlfriend's. I thought they must have been together for a long time but it was only a matter of months. With characters who were difficult to bond with, I don't really know who this book would appeal to. If you want to read a book whilst on a plance then this would be it. If you're looking for something deep and meaningful look elsewhere. I do have others of his at home to read but I'm afraid they'll be pushed to the back of my tbr pile!

A New Series for Kellerman? I Hope So,
By
This review is from: The Conspiracy Club (Paperback)
Psychologist Jeremy Carrier's life fell apart when the love of his life was brutally murdered and though six months have gone by, he is still shattered by her death, and the fact that he was a suspect in his girlfriend's murder made his ordeal infinitely worse.
Now Homicide detective Bob Doresh is back at the hospital with more questions. A forty-five year old prostitute named Tyrene Mazursky has been murdered in the same fashion and Doresh wants to know if Jeremy has an alibi. Then another prostitute is murdered. Dr. Arthur Chess, sort of a professor emeritus at the hospital where Jeremy works, befriends him and invites him to a get together with several other oldsters who have irregular meetings to discuss whatever catches their fancy and now it looks like conspiracy, serial killers and unsolved murders have caught their interest. Slowly Chess feeds Jeremy clues as he feels the pressure of the police closing in and the urgency of having to solve the murder before the killer strikes again or the police arrest him and throw away the key. Kellerman has introduced a new protagonist and though he's not the Alex Delaware we've come to know and love, I suspect we'll be seen more of Dr. Carrier in the next couple of years and I for one wouldn't mind that at all.
