Product Description

Review
'Finally, a thriller that delivers. Compelling, well-written, and filled with wonderfully real characters, SUNSTROKE is a dynamic debut' ? Harlan Coben ** 'An intriguing setup, executed with finesse. Jesse Kellerman kept me guessing right down to the end. A masterly debut!' - Sue Grafton ** 'Jesse Kellerman takes us on a frightening journey into dangerous territory with twists and turns that will leave you breathless' - Nelson DeMille 'Beautifully written - you can't stop reading. Jesse Kellerman is an exciting new voice in the mystery field. DON'T MISS IT' ? Tony Hillerman --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Independent
`Emotional sleuthing, rather than crime-scene forensics, take centre stage in this mature and enjoyable debut.' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 10 Aug 2006
This review is from: Sunstroke (Hardcover)
As an avid Jonathan Kellerman fan, I had high expectations that Jesse had inherited some of his dad's writing skills. This book was a real let down for me. It started of at a reasonable pace but quickly let me down. It's drawn out with little real excitement along the way. The characters dont come to life and are decidedly uninteresting. Not one I could recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sunstroke, 18 Sep 2007
By Jean "Jean" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunstroke (Hardcover)
This is one of the worst books I have ever ploughed through. I read whatever i find by both Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, and had high expectations after reading a review of this book. I felt really let down. The plot meandered, and the author seemed to relish using some words to the detriment of the desired image. All in all I thought the plot was poor and the writing in need of a great deal of improvement. I won't read another one by him!

2.0 out of 5 stars Keep Practising Jesse, 9 Jul 2007
By Mary D (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunstroke (Paperback)
Children of the famous always complain how hard it is to be accepted when they attempt the same career path as their parents. This novel is a great example of a book that would possibly not have been published at all - at least not in its current form - if it wasn't for his famous name. While it's clear that Kellerman junior can write and has some sharp observations to make, reading this book is a bit like ploughing through treacle. I just wished that someone had the courage to tell him to cut out a hundred pages - mostly the neverending stilted conversations that went nowhere - and to get a far firmer grip on his plotting. By the last quarter of the book I really didn't care who was who and who did what to whom - or why - but I carried on in the hope of a final reprieve. There was none. Self indulgent, dull and ultimately totally unbelievable.
