4.0 out of 5 stars Great read, 10 April 2007
I had previously read some of the later Alex Delaware books and decided to start at the beginning of the series to find out the history of Alex, Robin & Milo. It was well worth it - these books are a great read and When the Bough Breaks provides the history of Alex's medical background, how he first meets Milo and the beginning of their friendship, and also his initial romance with Robin. Well worth the read. Go and buy it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!!, 6 Feb 2003
By A Customer
OK picture the scene....on holiday and you;ve just finished the last page of your book with two days and a flight left to go....what do you do..thats how I picked up When The Bough Breaks. A little local supermarket and it had a few of the Jonathan Kellerman novels. I picked the first one and was anything but disappointed. The book moves with pace and keeps you intrigued. The story is nasty but thats what grips you. The characters have depth and I'm sure they will develop through the rest of the Alex Delaware novels. Not much else to say. If you like this type of novel then you'll like this. And as for the end..........well read it and find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best in the Kellerman family, 9 Jun 2009
This review is from: When the Bough Breaks (Paperback)
This is the first book in the Alex Delaware series and an excellent introduction to Kellerman and his main characters Delaware, Milo Sturgis and Robin. As the series progresses we learn more about these great characters and are able to relate to them, I would recommend reading the book sin order but they all work as stand alone novels if you've not managed to start with this book.

As always with Kellerman, this is a fast paced psychological thriller which will keep you turning pages in quick succession

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing short of BRILLIANT!
Kellerman prooves with this novel that he is the master of psychological thrillers. The plot is complex, humourous, violent and entertaining. Read more
