Publisher Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman writes unforgettable tales of crime and detection that expose the shadowy side of glittering Los Angeles. And in Evidence, readers are once again in the dexterous grip of a master storyteller and stylist equally skilled at teasing your brain and taking your breath away. In the half-built skeleton of a monstrously vulgar mansion in one of L.A.’s toniest neighborhoods, a watchman stumbles on the bodies of a young couple–murdered in flagrante and left in a gruesome postmortem embrace. Though he’s cracked some of the city’s worst slayings, veteran homicide cop Milo Sturgis is still shocked at the grisly sight: a twisted crime that only Milo’s killer instincts–and psychologist Alex Delaware’s keen insights–can hope to solve. While the female victim’s identity remains a question mark, her companion is ID’d as eco-friendly architect Desmond Backer, who disdains the sort of grandiose superstructure he’s found dead in. And the late Mr. Backer, it’s revealed was also notorious for his power to seduce women. The rare exception is his ex-boss, Helga Gemein, who’s as indifferent to Desmond’s death as she apparently was to his advances. Though Milo and Alex place her on their short list of suspects, the deeper they dig for clues the longer the list grows. An elusive prince who appears to harbor decidedly American appetites, an eccentric blueblood with an ax to grind, one of Desmond’s restless ex-lovers and her cuckolded husband–all are in the homicidal mix spiced with eco-terrorism, arson, blackmail, conspiracy, and a vendetta that runs deep. But when the investigation veers suddenly in a startling direction, it’s the investigators who may wind up on the wrong end of a cornered predator’s final fury.

"My man Lieutenant Detective Milo Sturgis gets the limelight in this fairly fast paced "Police Procedural". Even the narrator John Rubenstein is able to add new dimension to his characters voices, for a while there I thought all the male characters over the age of 50 ate or drank dairy products to get their voice that way.."

    " Audiobook.......I normally am a fan of the Alex Delaware series, but this one was difficult to stick with. And frankly, this was more of a Milo Sturgis story than an Alex Delaware story. "

    " I like this series, enjoyable in general. A little predictable though, this one I mean. Maybe when you're on the 20-something book it gets hard to be fresh and original. Not much personal story lines going on, which I like better (meaning stuff in Alex's personal life). "

    " One of the better Alex Delaware, Milo Sturgis opuses in a while. The usual LA setting. This time Holmby Hills. An abandoned half-built house, a far-away Pacific kingdom combine to make a good mystery. If you like Kellerman, you'll probably like this one. "

    " this is my first Jonathan Kellerman book i have read, it was well written and i give it a 4.5, it certainly does give you alot of candidates to figure out who've done it and why. it is something that will really intrigue you, can't believe it took me 2.5 days. "

    " I know the whole prmeise is far-fetched--a detective that has a psychologist who accompanies him nearly everywhere. Yet it was somewhat entertaining in a "I wonder who did?" it kind of way. "

    " Sadly, Kellerman has gone the way of the formulaic. While still compelling, this was nowhere near the level of suspense his early Alex Delaware novels had. I'm hopeful that "Deception" will return some of that old tension. "

    " I like Kellerman's books a lot. But he writes a simple story that barely keeps your interest. Not his normal high level work. He has written many better books and mysteries. Still his main characters Milo and Alex are always fun to follow. "
