Obsession (Abridged): An Alex Delaware Novel Audiobook

" Nineteen-year-old girl with OCD hears an ambiguous confession from her dying mother. The resulting investigation turns up a suspect with his own obsessions (didn't appreciate the details of that). Very good audible narrator, interesting plot, didn't care for the graphics of a few characters. "

" Each night, as I picked this book up to read, (And put it back down. Must do this exactly nine times.) as I turned each page, (Can't stop on an even numbered page. Have to keep going until the last numer is three.) as I read each chapter, (Have to stop on a word that has a numer of letters divisible by six.) I realized that the concept of "obsessive compulsive" character is bit far-fetched...But I liked the L.A setting. "

" The story line was as good as other Alex Delaware novels, but advancing it though too much dialogue dragged it down a bit. I found myself skipping over long passages, something I almost never do! "

" Good book. I really like the alex Delaware Series, Especially Milo. I like that it is about them trying to find if there was a crime. That was different. "

" Again - a great book. "

" I'm always a fan of both Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. I found this one to be an enjoyable read. "

" I like Kellerman's story lines but don't get his "obsession" with every detail of clothing all of his characters. That part gets a bit old. "

" Very disappointing. I only finished it because I kept thinking that it would get better, but it never did. Thankfully this wasn't his first book. "

" Maybe I wasn't in the mood for the book this time, but I really felt the leaps to theories were a little unbelievable this time. That is the author's normal form, however this time I just could not follow the logic. Did not enjoy this book as much as his prior Alex Delaware Novels. "

" Not his best but Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis never fail to entertain! "

" I found myself wanting it to be over. It could have been better if he got more into the OCD which ended up having very little to do with the whole thing. "

" 21st in the series! This book spends FAR too much time on meals, places and Dr Delaware's dog(!)than is necessary. The plotline is weaker than usual going back into the past to probe a mystery, to even determine if there IS a mystery. A fair read, but not one of Kellerman's stronger efforts. "

" Enjoyable. I wanted to see what happened, but not great. "

" A bit graphic/gross some parts. Otherwise I really enjoyed it, could not put it down! Now I want to read the rest of the Alex Delaware books!! "

" I really didn't like this book very much. It moved slowly and had more characters than I could manage. I continue to love Alex Delaware and like following his relationships with Robin and his friend Sturgis. This book introduces a new puppy in their household. A french bulldog named Blanche. "

" It was an "okay" read. I don't know why but it never grabbed me like other novels with Alex and Milo. Actually I had to fight a bit to finish it and sometimes I found the story rather confusing. "

" I enjoy the Alex Delaware series, been reading Kellerman for the last 15 years and his books don't disappoint. "

" Couldn't even finish this book- rare for me. Just couldn't get into the plot and characters. It all moved way too slow, when it did move it was predictable and 200+ pages in, still no real developments. In the used bookstore pile. "

" I listed to the audio version of the book. It kept my attention but I'm writing this review so long after listening to it that I can't say much more about it! Sorry! "

" Alex Delaware series is one of my favorites. "

" 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. "

" Morally objectional material. "

" I love psychological murder mysteries; they do so much beyond the crime and facts. It was a very interesting read! "

" Excellent bookgood plotlots of well rounded characters. I recommend it. "

" One of the better Alex Delaware novels - I hadn't read one for a while - so this was a nice change from what I had been reading! "

" It was just ok ... a bit confusing, I don't think I'd hurry out to get another one of his books. "

" Lots of characters. Sometimes hard to follow. Good gym "listening." "

" I didn't find this book to be very well written, engrossing, entertaining, or anything else. There were no interesting plot twists and it just got annoying trying to keep up with all their theories. "

" I dig Kellerman' Alex Delaware. I liked it, but wasn't as compelling as some of his other novels with the same characters. "

" Not one of my favorite JK books. The ending seemed a little too "formula." I think JK was a bit lazy putting this one together. "

" Jonathan Kellerman has yet to disappoint. Good story. "

" I did like the book, but I think the author is tiring of his character and/or his writing. "

" Kellerman, like Patterson, just keeps turning them out--but now they follow a formula--no depth--good for a quick read but not thought-provoking. "

" Odd ending - it was just okay <br/> "

" pretty good mystery, pun intended. the dynamic between delaware and sturgis is very believeable and natural. they have the feel of old friends. the story is just the vehicle for their give and take. "

" Another great read from Mr Kellerman. Alex and Milo clearly outdo themselves, but Milo takes a backseat this time. Hard to believe I have read all 26 of this series. "

" I have been in love with this series for a long time. I'm sad to say that this was tired. It was okay but definitely felt like a retread. "

" This was a pretty good one:) "

" Not as good as his books usually are...a little boring and dragged in some places. "

" All about $$$$ and whores. Lots of leads but a long trip to the killer. "

" Entertaining yarn that takes on a film noir quality. A few interesting female characters thrown in with the usual Alex and Milo. <br/> <br/>The end was definitely over-the-top but isn't that how film noirs always end? "

" Two-haiku review:<br/><br/>Girl gets face shot off<br/>By two different weapons.<br/>Strange... how can that be?<br/><br/>Milo and Alex<br/>Track family connections.<br/>Even Robin helps. "
