Alex Delaware Series #32
For the last couple of weeks I have been on a marathon read of Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware Series (with side trips into two series co-authored with his son Jesse Kellerman). I've experienced a compulsion to ponder this quite extensive series, and am reading all I can obtain. So far, nary a disappointment. Mr. Kellerman has a writing style which invites in the reader, then compels continuing. Protagonist Alex Delaware--child psychological, part-time professor, best friend of Gay top crime solver LAPD Lt. Milo Sturgis, frequent police consultant on the "weird" cases--is a very likable hero. Laid-back, quiet, thoughtful, high intellect, eidetic recall [that latter not a positive considering the types of cases on which he consults]: a fitting foil to the often bull-in-a-China-shop Milo; divergent in appearances and personalities, but fast friends, both men of unassailable integrity.
THE MUSEUM OF DESIRE is particularly intriguing, laced with multiple unarguably psychopathic villains, international crime, and an especially ugly historical era, rejuvenated anew in L. A.'s illusory 21st Century.
