Book Description

Publication Date: 3 April 2008
Jamey Cadmus is clearly a deeply troubled young man. Found clutching a bloodied knife at the scene of a brutal double homicide, surely he must be the vicious serial killer who's been terrorising LA. What other explanation can there be? The public are demanding the death penalty but his lawyer is pleading diminished responsibility.

Psychologist Alex Delaware is asked to make an assessment of Jamey's mental health but to do that he needs to look into Jamey's past and no one wants Alex digging there...

'High-octane entertainment' (The Times)

'Exceptionally exciting' (New York Times)

'Ingenious and horrifying' (The Sunday Times)

4.0 out of 5 stars an enjoyable read 15 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I very much enjoyed this book, the plot centred around a cry for help from an ex-patient. This is no normal young man, but a precocious young genius who is almost a totally unsympathetic character. He is arrested for a series of murders committed whilst in a psychotic state.

The plot unfolds in timely fashion, and if you are anything like me you will have made a couple of wrong guesses before the final denouement.

A nice change from the beautiful wide eyed little children Alex Delaware seems to find himself protecting. I was also pleased that he didn't get too involved in confronting the perpetrators, avoiding the final confrontation scene which is played out so often, with the hero taking on the villain single handed and ending the book terribly injured, but having survived (yawn).

Interesting, enjoyable and well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thriller that keeps you hanging over the edge to the end 12 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I have now read about 5 of Jonathon Kellerman's books and I am yet to be disappointed by one. Over the Edge is sharply written and completely compeling. I read it in two days straight over a rainy weekend and experienced that sense of loss and sadness when a really good read is finished. The book starts with an ex-patient of Alex's calling for help in the middle of the night. The boy is later found at the scene of the latest in a long line of slasher serial murders with a knife in his hand. He is now completely psychotic or is he?

3.0 out of 5 stars Over The Edge 13 Mar 2009
By molko VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
As you may already know this is the 3rd in Jonathan Kellermans long running Alex Delaware series. It starts with one of Alex's ex-patients, a troubled young man believed to be suffering from schizophrenia, contacting him after escaping from the mental hospital he was being held at. It leads to an unforunately long winded story of family secrets, corrupt businessman and the deranged mentally handicapped that usually bring something extra to Kellermans stories.
This one however seemed to fall a bit flat for me, too long considering the slow pace. I'll definately continue this series having been impressed with the previous books; When the Bough Breaks & Blood Test. And kudos must go to Kellerman for his amazing prose and character descriptions which really are a driving force for the series.
