Obsession: An Alex Delaware Novel Audiobook

" This was not one of my favorite Jonathon Kellerman books, but I can never get enough of his characters. "

" easy reading murder mystery, but the prime character is getting boring. "

" I started reading Jonathan Kellerman in graduate school and haven't met one of his books yet that was not intriguing . . . possibly something to do with the main character being a psychologist! "

" Another excellent Alex Delaware mystery -- at a good place in his life, with a woman who loves him and a dog who smiles. "

" I kept asking myself, "why am I reading this book?" but compulsively slogged through it. I was not rewarded at the end. "

" Another Alex Delaware novel, and once again he comes through. "

" Fast detective read - or in this case I listened on CD. "

" I have now re-read Obsession and have enjoyed it much more the second time. For whatever reason, the first time i had problems keeping track of the characters and I was listening to the audio recording. Most of Kellerman's books get wrapped up a bit in minutia, but overall they are well written and great mystery reads. This one hooked me right away - the central character is the daughter of a woman who, on her death bed, confessed doing something "very bad." Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis spend the rest of the book trying to figure out what she had done, and have to solve murders happening as they search for whatever she was hiding. "

" Another great book by Jonathan Kellerman. Alex Delaware has to be one of my favorite fictional characters. Can't wait to read another one! "

" Found that this book just drug ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON "

" I love Mr. Kellerman's Alex Delaware books. I just love his character and Milo too, of course. They are easy reads, but worth it. This book was a little slower than usual to get into, but it paid off in the end. "

" I like Kellerman's Alex Delaware mysteries-I like the "shrink" detective combination-this was a good read "

" Par for the series. Alex Delaware helps a former patient, an obsessive compulsive whose adoptive mother dies with a terrible secret on her lips. The investigation turns onthe horrid sexual obsessions of a psychopath. Set in the cheap Hollywood of porn films. "

" Another good book filled with suspense, action & all the Milo & Alex twists & turns. Love the entire series & want him to write forever! "

" I expected to read a solid mystery/thriller as I've come to expect from Jonathan Kellerman's series, and I was not disappointed. Not his most gripping, but it held my interest, and the characters remain appealing and fun to read. "

" Too much unecessary detail. Good story, but took too long to reach main point in each chapter. "

" I couldn't finish this. I got increasingly bored and eventually just put the book down and forgot about it. About two-thirds of the way through the book I realised I just didn't care AT ALL about anything that was going on. Really disappointing. "

" I love the Alex Delaware series. I enjoy reading these books and I love listening to them even more. "

" Kellerman's always a guilty pleasure- his Alex Delaware books are consistently good and engaging, and never disappoint. His characters grow and change from book to book, and there's rarely a dull moment in any of them. This one is no better, or worse, than any of his others. Very enjoyable. "

" The title is misleading. Though the book delves a little into the world of OCD, it really has nothing to do with the plot. I kept waiting for it to be tied in, but no dice. This is a quick, not that scary, somewhat convoluted mystery. If you like Alex Delaware novels, you will probably like it. "

" This book was a little disturbing to me. I did like the main character who is a psychologist. "

" This is a good Alex Delaware mystery, with perhaps too much back-and-forth speculation as various red herring suspects appear and disappear. The mystery posed is tenuous at the beginning, takes awhile to gain credibility, finally has a satisfying conclusion. "

" Good procedural and I always love mysteries that deal with crimes in the past and present. But Alex seemed almost not there, too far in the background. Will I read others? Sure. I adore Milo, Petra, and many of the others. "

" Meh, nothing special about this book. Simply a time-filler. I did not like the plotline very much as not much happened and did not tie in together very well. "

" Good plane ride read... or beach book "

" Alex Delaware and Milo working to find out about death-bed confession by daughter's mom regarding a murder - hard to follow "

" Don't like his writing, but good enough for a plane ride! "

" Another great Jonathan Kellerman book. I never realized before how much detail he puts into his settings and characters. I like the little bits of info that you learn about the characters throughout the series. There is a wonderful dog in this book. I just loved Blanche!! "

" For my first Kellerman book, not bad. A tad predictable. But good bubble gum "beach read" "

" 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. "

" Dead couple embrace.Abandoned, half-built mansion.Motive mystery.Two different crimes.How do they tie together?Who connects the two? "

" The book started out interesting and then just lost my interest in the middle. Just couldn't finish. I do want to know about the couple that was murdered, but just can't finish to get there. "

" I love Alex Delaware books, but I found this one to be just a bit convoluted. There were a few too many sub-plots going on, and it made it hard to follow the story at times. It was still an enjoyable read! "

" The duo of Delaware and Sturgis are a great pair. I am surprised they haven't made a movie out of this series yet. "

" Alex Delaware appeared to have more of a bit part in this novel. I enjoyed the book, but it is not up to other Kellerman novels. "

" 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. "

" Couple found dead in flagrante. Complex plot involving Swiss/Austrian Architect, and revenge killings. "

" Good plotting. Milo's character keeps getting stronger and more interesting and so do the cops who work with him. But it seems that Alex is slipping further into the background. "

" Reads exactly like an episode of CSI. Interesting enough story but the writing style was unusual and the terminology was very specialized, which made it a bit of a challenging read. I wouldn't recommend this book, but I don't feel like I wasted my time reading it either. "

" Good book . Not so much blood and gore. "

" This is another fine police procedural featuring psychologist Alex Delaware and his buddy Detective Milo Sturgis. This book's plot takes many twists and turns. "

" The watchman at a large unfinished mansion finds a pair of bodies inside the house. Alex goes with Milo to analyze the scene. First they need to find the name of the female victim and why they are there. "

" Readable, but not as interesting as all the earlier Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis novels. "
