Product Description:
When the phone rings in the middle of the night, child psychologist Alex Delaware does not hesitate. Driving through the dream-lit San Fernando Valley, Alex rushes to Jamey Cadmus, the patient he had failed five years before—and who now calls with a bizarre cry for help. But by the time Alex reaches Canyon Oaks Psychiatric Hospital, Jamey is gone, surfacing a day later in the hands of the police, who believe Jamey is the infamous Lavender Slasher, a psychotic serial killer. Wooed by a high-powered attorney to build a defense, Alex will get a chance to do what he couldn’t five years ago. And when he peers into a family’s troubled history and Jamey’s brilliant, tormented mind, the psychologist puts himself at the heart of a high-profile case. Because Alex knows that in a realm of money, loss, and madness, something terrible pushed Jamie over the edge—or else someone is getting away with murder.

For the most part, I enjoyed OVER THE EDGE. It's a very effective psychological thriller about a young man who may or may not have committed a horrible series of murders. It works well as a whodunit, and Kellerman knows how to keep the suspense alive in his stories.
OVER THE EDGE does suffer from many of the flaws that characterize Kellerman's work. The storyline is not particularly realistic, and is very complex and convoluted (Kellerman takes 50 pages to explain it at the end). ... Read More

The copyright date on this Alex Delaware novel is 1987. I had not realized the series was that old ~~ or Dr Delaware, for that matter.
Even then, at the beginning of the series, the writing is fluent and well thought out. The plot is carefully planned, with a lot of interesting ideas to ponder as you follow the story.
Something that interests me: I really enjoy Kellerman's work, but in the last couple additions to the Dr D series, I have been able to spot the Bad Guy the ... Read More

Psychologist Alex Delaware participated in a study of teenagers with extemely high IQs. One of the participants in the study, Jamey Cadmus, began to show psychotic symptoms during the study and Alex was dismayed that he could not help Jamey and, in fact, might have caused him some harm. Five years later, James places a late-night call to Alex which sounds like a cry for help. Jamey's disjointed and bizarre ramblings are difficult to untangle, but Alex decides he must try to help the young man. ... Read More

When I start getting antsy, I automatically go to the back of the book and read the last few chapters. If I can easily connect the dots from what I've read from the beginning to what I read at the end, I put aside the book and move on.
This book not only had a surprise ending, but I wanted to know how the characters progressed to get there. I found myself reading forward and skipping back to the end multiple times to try to understand how it got there. I wasn't even able to skip a single ... Read More

This is the third Alex Delaware novel written by Jonathan Kellerman, but
it's the second one I've read. The first one I read was a much more
recent novel (Therapy) and was kind of slow going at first, but this one
had me hooked on page one! Alex Delaware is an intriguing character and
it makes a nice twist to have a crime novel told by someone more on the
fringe of the investigation. Delaware is a Psychologist who sometimes
does consulting for the police department. ... Read More
