The latest in the series is pedestrian and maddeningly slow moving. I just finished it yesterday and I can't tell you the plot; not a great reflection on the story telling involved.
Maybe it is time for Kellerman to abandon the Delaware character and spend some time on books featuring Milo Sturgis? Originally a throw-away part of the Alex Delaware contributing cast, he is a far more interesting character these days.
THE MAJORITY OF THE BOOK WAS CLASSIC ALEX DELAWARE, COLORFUL CHARACTERS, IT ALSO HAD A GOOD CROSSOVER WITH PETRA MAKING AN APPEARANCE ... UNFORTUANETLY FOR ME, TOWARDS THE END THE "WOW" FACTOR WAS MISSING. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE JONATHAN WASN'T SURE HOW TO END IT & IT FELT FORCED OR RUSHED. WE NEVER GOT TO SEE THE PSYCOLOGICAL INTERACTION BETWEEN ALEX & THE VILLAIN.
BUT DON'T BE TOO DISCOURAGED...IT'S STILL ALEX & MILO!!
