Light My Kindle

I had been away from Kellerman’s books for a while, mainly because I always borrowed them from my mother’s stack of library books and I no longer live at home. During a recent visit, however, Mom loaned me this book, and I’m glad she did. Alex Delaware was as charming and smart as ever, and the story was definitely more than meets the eye.

The novel follows Alex, a psychologist, and his cop friend Milo as they investigate a brutal murder. The dead girl had previously been in Alex’s office after faking her own kidnapping to get her name in the news. As a hopeful actress, she had been taking classes at a small acting studio of sorts, which naturally gets investigated after her death. The dead girl had been involved with all kinds of shady characters, and Milo and Alex expertly investigate them all.

I had a hard time getting into the story at first because the whole Hollywood struggling actress thing didn’t really pull at my heartstrings, but as soon as the investigation started to heat up, things got really interesting. The working chemistry between Milo and Alex is perfect. Even when they’re not doing anything inherently interesting, they’re still entertaining. The book got better the further I read and the ending will not disappoint.

I recommend picking this one up if you’re a fan of Kellerman’s or if you like crime novels like those by James Patterson. It’s available as a Kindle edition and paperback
