Format:Paperback
I've read all of the Alex Delaware books before this one, and also The Butchers Theatre (whose main protagonist is in this book), and I've liked them all too. This one is no exception, it's all about the hunt for a killer or killers who are killing disabled people, attempting to strengthen the gene pool by trimming off the feeble minded.
I realised halfway through that my copy has a big give-away as to the identity of the killer, as usual in this sort of thriller the villain does appear earlier on in the book, you just don't know what else they get up to in their spare time. I'd say what it is that gave it away for me, but it would only make other people notice and realise, slightly spoiling the thrill of being told everything in the authors own time.
Regardless, it's still a very good thriller.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Having read all the previous Kellerman novels, there is a definite sense of fatigue about this book. Perfectly readable but there's nothing new here. Delaware is still Delaware, Milo is still Milo. The one aspect of these novels that continues to annoy me is Delaware's girlfriend Robin. I have no idea of her character at all, Kellerman gives us nothing so she remains resolutely one-dimensional. I feel Delaware has more chemistry with Milo, who is a character with far greater depth than the paper doll that is Robin. I see the next novel 'Billy Straight' features a female lead so it will be interesting if Kellerman can write a female with some depth beyond sexual neuroses.
Format:Hardcover
Once more, Jonathan Kellerman drives us to the dark depths of the human soul. As a great psycographer, he creates characters the reader can identify with and follow them through the labyrinth of prejudice, vice and malice that unfolds before them. A great book that kept me up until I finished it.
