Guilt: An Alex Delaware Novel [Kindle Edition]
Jonathan Kellerman (Author)Publication Date: February 12, 2013 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Jonathan Kellerman’s “psychology skills and dark imagination are a potent literary mix” (Los Angeles Times), and this intensely thrilling blend has never been so powerful as in the acclaimed author’s new novel of murder and madness among the beautiful dreamers, seductive predators, and doomed innocents adrift in the glare of Southern California’s eternal sunshine.
A series of horrifying events occur in quick succession in the same upscale L.A. neighborhood. A backyard renovation unearths an infant’s body, buried sixty years ago. And soon thereafter in a nearby park, another disturbingly bizarre discovery is made not far from the body of a young woman shot in the head. Helping LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to link these eerie incidents is brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware. But even the good doctor’s vast experience with matters both clinical and criminal might not be enough to cut down to the bone of this chilling case—and draw out the disturbing truth.
My take: Enjoyed the story and although the end was not really surprising, it did keep me interested throughout the story. In the beginning it seems unrelated items present that couldn't possibly fit together but you learn later that they do... and they don't. Aside from the main characters (Dr. Delaware and Milo) I didn't find most of the other characters very likeable but overall, it was a nice story.
