4.0 out of 5 stars another topnotch alex delaware mystery, 25 Oct 2009
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evidence (Alex Delaware Novels) (Audio CD)
It's always a pleasure to begin a new story with a familiar lead character that has always appealed (this is Kellerman's 24th Alex Delaware novel). Readers/listeners know what to expect, and in this case it's an extremely well crafted crime novel that leaves us in suspense until the last page. A great deal of the enjoyment in an Alex Delaware novel is the friendship and working relationship between Delaware, a consulting psychologist, and Mike Sturgis, an LAPD homicide detective. Their verbal exchanges as the two dig in to solve a crime are thought provoking and entertaining.

Kellerman knows how to pen an attention grabbing and keeping opener - with Evidence the bodies of a young couple are found, obviously they've been murdered and were left in a ghoulish embrace. They're discovered by a night watchman doing routine rounds through a "rich-idiot neighborhood." The site is a half-finished house that would rival a castle when completed. The male half of this post mortem placement is Desmond Backer, an architect who when still breathing would have hated the kind of structure he's found dead in. Desmond, it seems also had a way with women - better said his way with women as he's described as one who "jumps anything with ovaries." Clearly as dead as Desmond is a young woman who is not immediately identified.

One female Desmond had not been able to charm was his ex-boss, Helga Gagman, who sorrows not at all upon hearing of his untimely death. Milo and Alex soon have a long list of suspects that eventually narrows and places them in mortal danger. There are clues leading to eco-terrorism, a multi-level conspiracy, and all manner of evil doings.

Only with the stunning conclusion do we fully realize the intricacy of Kellerman's careful plot and it all makes sense - but, we never could have figured it out for ourselves!

Tony Award winner John Rubinstein is the long running narrator of the Delaware series, and rightfully so as he reads with an actor's trained voice and total immersion in his material. It's not always easy to effectively voice a conversation between two men and make each character immediately identifiable but Rubinstein pulls this off without a hitch.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great, 29 Oct 2009
This review is from: Evidence (Hardcover)
I wouldn't be running out to buy this one. I really think Alex Delaware may be reaching the end of his usefulness as a character. He really had no purpose in this book - he just followed Milo Sturgis around and had very little to no psychological insight to offer. I also felt the plotting was a little tenuous - it didn't draw me in the way the stories from the early books did. None of the characters caught my imagination in any way. I also felt there was a big give-away at the beginning of the book so the ending didn't come as too much of a surprise to me - hate then that happens.

2.0 out of 5 stars Evidence, 13 Nov 2009
By R. J. Thorley "Valerie Bookseller" (cyprus) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evidence (Hardcover)
Oh dear Oh dear I have always loved both his and his wife's books. True they have been written to a formula but they still remained somehow fresh. This however is a bit tired, unusual for Mr Kellermen. Sorry but not a hit rather a miss with me.
