Product Description:
In a host of consecutive bestsellers, Jonathan Kellerman has kept readers spellbound with the intense, psychologically acute adventures of Dr. Alex Delaware–and with excursions through the raw underside of L.A. and the coldest alleys of the criminal mind. Rage offers a powerful new case in point, as Delaware and LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis revisit a horrifying crime from the past that has taken on shocking and deadly new dimensions.
Troy Turner and Rand Duchay were barely teenagers when they kidnapped and murdered a younger child. Troy, a remorseless sociopath, died violently behind bars. But the hulking, slow-witted Rand managed to survive his stretch. Now, at age twenty-one, he’s emerged a haunted, rootless young man with a pressing need: to talk–once again–with psychologist Alex Delaware. But the young killer comes to a brutal end, that conversation never takes place.
Has karma caught up with Rand? Or has someone waited for eight patient years to dine on ice-cold revenge? Both seem strong possibilities to Sturgis, but Delaware’s suspicions run deeper . . . and darker. Because fear in the voice of the grownup Rand Duchay–and his eerie final words to Alex: “I’m not a bad person”–betray untold secrets. Buried revelations so horrendous, and so damning, they’re worth killing for.
As Delaware and Sturgis retrace their steps through a grisly murder case that devastated a community, they discover a chilling legacy of madness, suicide, and multiple killings left in its wake–and even uglier truths waiting to be unearthed. And the nearer they come to understanding an unspeakable crime, the more harrowingly close they get to unmasking a monster hiding in plain sight.
Rage finds Jonathan Kellerman in phenomenal form–orchestrating a relentlessly suspenseful, devilishly unpredictable plot to a finale as stunning and thought-provoking as it is satisfying.

I did this Kellerman on audio, as I have done with virtually all of his books. I read nonfiction at home, and do these mysteries on audio in the car on long business trips. For those who haven't tried these on audio, I can say that John Rubenstein does a superb job as a reader. I don't know if any other readers have done Dr. Delaware, as all that I have heard have Rubenstein.
Unlike some of his mysteries, this one kept me going nearly to the end to figure out the killer. It definitely ... Read More

This book starts off well and has interesting characters, but for reasons I can't put my thumb on I almost lost interest towards the end. It was almost a little too long, or anticlimactic. Maybe it's the fact htat a psychologist was acting more like a sherif or cowboy then an 'assistant' to the cops. Either way check it out and see what you think. Much better than anything I've read by Patterson, but nowhere near Brad Mettzer!!!

Save your money, folks! This book is not worth the paper it's printed on. I don't know what has happened to Kellerman, but he seems to have lost his touch. Where are the classic twists and turns, the surprises, that used to define the earlier Kellerman? This book has no climax, no intrigue, no surprises! All Milo and Alex do is talk, talk, talk, and eat donuts - donuts that are described down to their very last detail. That's the book in a nutshell. That, and a host of characters you can't keep straight ... Read More

This is one of the worst books I have ever read. I love whodunits, especially police and spy novels, murder mysteries. But this book was very unsatisfying, spent too much time on describing sorted child and sexual abuse instead of developing a coherent plot. (It borders on child pornography.) There were too many names of too many characters with too many hypothetical subplots to keep everything straight. Even at the end of the book I was unsure of the motive for the crime. Terrible book, Terrible plot. ... Read More

I am new to this author, I've read three so far, obviously out of sequence. I did go back and find the first one, I'd recommend that one first, although he does a good job of seamless back story, why not just start at the beginning?
Anyway, if you like popular mystery authors, Patterson, Grafton, etc., you'll probably enjoy this author as well. He does a good job of developing characters, for the most part, and the action moves pretty well.
