HITS THE MARK 26 Oct 2006
Format:Hardcover
GONE is the twentieth outing of the psychologist Alex Delaware, who is Kellerman's main series character along with girlfriend, Robin, and gay LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. There are advantages and disadvantages to this longevity. On the plus side readers know what to expect and are happy to pick up the characters where they left off. The disadvantage is that the formula can grew stale and it gets harder to inject a note of originality. However Kellerman does strike a fresh note: in GONE the background of aspiring actors trying to break into Hollywood and the phony values that they buy into is convincing and interesting.

Going...Going... 25 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
Another workmanlike piece from Kellerman. Not one of his best but not one of his worst either. You can never tell with this author whether it will be a gem or a dud, unfortunately. He's not exactly consistant...

But, as I say, it's crafted and substantial. I did guess whodunnit fairly early on and thought some of the potential suspects were a bit weak but at least it didn't feel like padding.

Worst thing about the book was the return (with a vengeance) of long-time girlfriend/partner, Robin (yawn). Delaware's private/love life has always been the most dreary aspect of this series. Well, that and the dog and the fish! And every time Milo is introduced in any of the many, many novels we get the same old acne-pitted/white sideburns description. Like, for goodnesssake, change the record! The odd thing is that, overall, there never feels like there's any significant development or growth in the central characters over the course of the series. It's like all the books exist within the same time and space.

Kellerman is clearly a professional writer. This is his career and how he makes his living. He's got his formula and sometimes he gets the balance right. This one's okay. Not great. Just okay.

By Michael Watson TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I enjoyed this book. It's the first Alex Delaware story I'd read and I wasn't disappointed. I thought initially that, with several previous novels in the system, it may have been wiser to read those first. Not at all. The author keeps the storyline moving along with excellent dialogue and a well-constructed investigation without making the reader feel out of the loop with the background and history of his main characters. It's a book that needs to be read word for word otherwise you run the risk of missing something - unlike some recently released supposedly best-sellers! The killings are understated at first but the investigation uncovers a more violent and sickening trail. If the reader can fathom out whodunnit, I'd be surprised if he/she will work out why! Really engrossing, a complex story and well worth the money. My only criticism which isn't really worth the loss of one star is the general impression that American authors seem to need pets in the lives of their heroes - as though they're not complete without some strange animal in the household. Wierd.
