Book Description

22 Jun 2006

'On a slow chilly Sunday in January, shortly after the Lakers overcame a sixteen point halftime deficit and beat New Jersey, I got a call from a murderer.'

Eight years ago, psychologist Alex Delaware evaluated two teenage boys charged with the shocking murder of young Kristal Malley. Now one of the killers is out of prison - and wants to meet up with Alex.

But by the time the pair do come face to face again, one of them is dead. Was Rand Duchay just another victim of an LA street crime? Or is something more sinister going on here?

Alex and Detective Milo Sturgis mean to find out. To do so, they will follow a trail of blood that will lead them to the depths of cruelty - and straight to the heart of murderous betrayal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rage, Jonathan Kellerman 13 Feb 2006
By Panders
Format:Hardcover
As gripping as ever in the traditional Alex Delaware style. Impossible to put down once the first few pages had been read. Constantly twisting and turning plot - each time I thought I'd cracked it there was a change in direction until finally I got there a matter of pages before all was revealed. Can't wait for the next installment - and will Robin be back?

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as some - still a page turner 1 Aug 2007
By Iain S. Palin TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I have enjoyed reading Kellerman's novels about police-involved psychologist Alex Delaware, he manages to write page turners with interesting plotting, good twists, interesting characters, and a lot of engaging description of people and places. Sadly, this isn't one of his best. There is more predictability in the plot, even if it does move along engrossingly. The characters are getting a little bit stale, and the latest swing in Delware's roller-coaster love-life is signalled with all the subtlety of the proverbial sledgehammer. That's not to say it's not a good read - it is. It's just not up to his usual standard, and that's disappointing. Mind, you I still stayed up late to finish it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best 5 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
Kellerman is always deficient in action scenes but compensates here by a surprisingly gripping read despite a substandard plot. It does drag a bit in places and the ambiguous ending is hardly satisfactory.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing 14 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback
Really looked forward to reading this one,but unfortunately was not that impressed.

The story was rather boring and the main characters were soul less.

Delaware and Sturgis were their usual selves but rather meek.

Not Kellerman's usual gore and descriptives.

3.0 out of 5 stars Psycho 30 Jun 2007
By Rotgut VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
A rather formulaic cops and robbers book, part of an ongoing series featuring a psychiatrist who uses his skills to assist the police in solving serious crimes. Not the most original premise for a crime thriller, but the author's genuine knowledge of the subject is obvious, and well used.

The book opens with a description of a crime committed several years before. To UK readers, the murder described seems horribly familiar, two young boys abduct a toddler from a shopping mall and tragedy results. An infamous case from Merseyside is inevitably evoked. This introductory part is the strongest of the whole book.

The plot quickly becomes extremely far fetched as the events move to the present.

By the time the story closes, we have entered "Death Wish" territory, and reality has been left far behind.

A more interesting work would have been a fictionalised account of a psychiatrist investigating a senseless murder of an innocent child by two other youngsters. But,to be fair, this would have been a very difficult read indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardback/Paperback 3 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
I had already bought "Rage" by Jonathan Kellerman in hardback, and did not check when you offered it to me again, and bought the paperback too! But, I re-read it, enjoyed it just as much as the first time, and sent paperback on to a friend - who will circulate it to HER friends! I enjoy his books very much, and think I probably have all of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tedious and boring 8 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
I have followed the Delaware/Sturgis books from the start of the series and have started to find that I am enjoying them less and less. The constant brain storming of ideas is getting increasingly tedious and ridiculous. I find it difficult to believe that Milo would have so much time to sit around discussing outlandish possibilites.

This particular book has a storyline that starts promisingly and then seems to go nowhere very slowly. I found it rather boring and the end was unsatisfactory and gave the impression the author didn't know how to finish it.

As far as Robin goes - am I the only person who is sick to death of her and would like her to disappear from the books forever?
