Publisher Description
The voice belongs to a woman, but Dr. Alex Delaware remembers a little girl. It is eleven years since seven-years-old Melissa Dickinson dialed a hospital help line for comfort--and found it in therapy with Alex Delaware. Now the lovely young heiress is desperately calling for psychologist's help once more. Only this time it looks like Melissa's deepest childhood nightmare is really coming true ... Twenty years ago, Gina Dickinson, Melissa's mother, suffered a grisly assault that left the budding actress irreparably scarred and emotionally crippled. Now her acid-wielding assailant is out of prison and back in L.A.--and Melissa is terrified that the monster has returned to hurt Gina again. But before Alex Delaware can even begin to soothe his former patient's fears, Gina, a recluse for twenty, disappears. And now, unless Delaware turns crack detective to uncover the truth, Gina Dickinson will be just one more victim of a cold fury that has already spawned madness--and murder.

"This is the first Kellerman I've read. It's a really good book--well written, and the psychotherapy parts are actually accurate, which is what you'll get reading a book by a psychologist, I guess. But it's still refreshing to read accurate psychotherapy in a novel."

Private Eyes Listener Reviews
-
" Not sure I like how this one ended esp after 500 pages. "
— Susan, 2/20/2014 -
" A not great but good mystery book. Kept my attention and kept me turning the pages. Would read another Jonathan Kellerman book again if in the mood for a mystery. "
— Lindsey, 2/5/2014 -
" It had many twists and turns. Took you to the very end before the mystery was solved. I thought it I had solved it several times, but in the end I did not. Like I said twists and turns. "
— Melony, 2/4/2014 -
" It's the day after I finished the book and I'm having a hard time remembering it. What does that say? "
— Dev, 1/31/2014 -
" My first and last Kellerman book. It started out very interesting and kept me reading, but I found the ending to be quite sickening and not at all something that made me want to read any other work by the author. "
— Rachelle, 1/25/2014 -
" Another great thriller from Mr Kellerman. All the twists and turns I would expect with his books. "
— Fiona, 1/23/2014 -
" Blah, blah, blah, murder, blah, blah, blah, scared child, blah, blah, blah, madness.Might as well have read a stack of People magazines for all the lasting effect. "
— Kaethe, 1/20/2014 -
" An OK read. I need to go back to the start and read these over. Even though they are stand alone, there's a lot of unexplained baggage. "
— Danya, 1/2/2014 -
" A great book if you're into child psychology. "
— Dubai, 12/25/2013 -
" this book was okay..it was one of his earlier novel within the series. i think his newer ones are MUCH better. regardless, still a good read. "
— Evelyn, 12/9/2013 -
" I just loved how Melissa got over her fears, but I can't believe her mother disappears and everybody thought she was dead! "
— Milena, 12/9/2013 -
" Private Eyes is another good Milo/Delaware mystery. The characters have believable relationships and the writing is first rate. "
— Mick, 12/8/2013 -
" This was my first read of a Jonathan Kellerman novel. This is about a young girl who goes to visit a psychatrist. It was good, kept me entertained, couldn't figure out "who dun it". Parts were a bit much for me, but overall it was fun to read. I would try another of hit books. "
— Mkingsford, 10/25/2013 -
" Although not my favourite Kellerman book, it was still a good read! "
— Constance, 10/14/2013 -
" A decent read but I was a little disappointed with the ending. "
— Ed, 10/9/2013 -
" Good light read. Kept me engaged. Didn't rock my world. :) "
— Audrey, 8/29/2013 -
" Not the best Alex/Milo book, not the worst "
— Alan, 7/4/2013 -
" I love the Alex Delaware novels, so of course I loved this one, too. If you like a good "whodunit", you'll love Kellerman's Alex Delaware series. "
— Jenn, 5/23/2013 -
" Read this some time ago as all of this series so far. "
— Peggy, 4/9/2013 -
" Could have sworn I had already read this one when I started it but turned out, I hadn't, or if I did, I didn't remember it. Was a decent story but seemed to drag quite a bit for a while. "
— Mishka, 4/2/2013 -
" I did not enjoy this book as much of some of the Alex Delaware books. There is not too much action and Alex kinda guesses his way into solving this crime. Interesting twists and turns. Still a fun read. "
— Michael, 3/20/2013 -
" Oh, ugh. I still like Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis as characters. But, yuck, what a wrap up to what promised to be a good story line. Oh, puhleaze.... "
