Customer Reviews

Hard Work
Totally agree with R Clary. I've read all Kellerman's books and have never found one so difficult to read. Too slow and the incessant changing possibilities debated by the detectives about what might have happened bored me to tears. I suspected more than once these were just to fill as many pages as possible as they certainly didn't pique my interest. Although I started out interested in Tanya her constant references to her sainted 'Mommy' got on my nerves quite quickly.
I'll be glad to finish this book but fortunately I've enjoyed enough Kellerman novels to give the next one a try.

Boring
I have been reading this book every night for the last 3 weeks and I find that 2 chapters absolute maximum a night are all I can handle, it's just so dull. I am now on chapter 36 and near the end and even now I am not rushing to see how it finishes. I wouldn't buy another one of this guy's books.

A Return To Form
Something of a return to form - and certainly an improvement on the last two in the series (Rage & Therapy). I found this both an engaging read and a satisfying whodunit.

Thankfully, Robyn's presence was kept to a minimum as were the Koi and, strangely, I found the new dog less irritating than the last. Milo's grey sideburns don't get a mention this time around though his bunions are referenced in compensation along with his standard pockmarked face, flab and shocking dress sense so Kellerman's readership are reassured yet again that Dr Delaware is unlikely to have a gay moment any time soon.

Plot-wise, I found it a real page-turner. Read it with enthusiasm. Intelligent and well-crafted. Not his absolute best but close to it. Recommended.
