Silent Partner (Abridged): An Alex Delaware Novel Audiobook

" the first JK novel that I read after that I keep on reading his book "

" This is the last abridged book I do. I know it would have been good if they had the full audio and any one of my libraries. but I just couldn't get into how much it jumped around and just plain didn't make sense to me. I got the gist of the story, but its just not told well in the medium. "

" I believe this to be the weirdest of all the Kellerman books I've read (& I've read a lot of them!). THis book seemd to have less to do with hard-core detecting and more to do with how far can we go! It reminded me of the gothic suspense stories I read long ago. Mow this book is early in the Alex Delaware series, maybe before Kellerman really hit his stride. I usually love the Dr. Delaware books, this one was a surprise. "

" I'm giving it 3 stars to be consistent with the other Kellerman/Delaware books I've read but I confess this one had me skimming rather than reading. The convoluted identical triplet/"Howard Hughes-alike plot had me muttering a few choice epithets and when our doughty hero finally signed up for psychological counseling at the end it was a relief. Another reader (Jim?) had a great review of the action! "

" These books are one of my guilty pleasures. The pleasure was tempered in this case by an overly convoluted plot. "

" Weird stuff. As I've read these first four books in the Doctor Alex Delaware series, I've been thinking this doctor needs to heal himself. In Silent Partners what has been implicit is now explicit - Delaware is not OK. While he manages to solve mysteries, including this one involving an old girlfriend and an intricate past, he has been acting more out of control in each book, more obsessive and depressed. So, in pursuing justice and closure for his patients and friends, he finds himself coming apart. Very gothic story. "

" This is a very interesting Alex Delaware mystery with a great deal of psychological background to it. Toward the end the plot becomes so twisted that it seems a bit forced, but it's still a very good read. "

" Really? A feral child as heroine? Probably a little slick for its own good. I do enjoy the interplay between Alex Delaware and his cop buddy, Milo, but this book just tried too hard to be complicated. "

" Twists and turns throughout the entire book. Several different psychology terms and meanings which was very interesting. "

" I do love me a little Dr. Alex Delaware. This one is good, lots of insight by/about Alex and a ridiculously complicated plot. Not much Milo and little or no Robin. "

" Not interested in this author. "

" My first Kellerman novel and I'm glad I read this book. There were a few expected suprises that will keep you anxious to know what will happen next. I'll definitely reading more from Kellerman. "

" The weirdest and least plausible Delaware novel I've read so far. Although it may be the only one in the series that stands out to me because of it. The rest tend to blur together in my mind. "

" Kellerman is a good writer and this book is worth a read. Original storyline that kept me hooked. Did get a tad convoluted, but was still a great read. "

" First Kellerman I have read in a while and this was one of the first ones he wrote. The story line was a bit more convoluted than what I am used to but I still enjoyed it for the most part. I am now reading one of his more recent ones and I like the evolution of his writing style better I think. "

" I read this series in the 80s&90s can't really remember them-but I do remember how good they were and this is---even 20 plus years later! "

" I always like Jonathon Kellerman's books. This one was a little to long in some parts and was way far fetched so I only gave it 4 stars. It was an easy read though. "

" Starts a little slow... But awesome after you get through the first 30 or so pages.... "

" It was ok. A little long and the ending appeared predictable. I would still continue to read the Alex Delaware series to see how the characters continue and develop. "

" Getting caught up on a few of Alex Delaware novels I missed. This was a good one, as most of Kellerman's novels are. "

" Old "twin" girlfriend commits suicide. "

" I was bitterly disappointed with this novel after reading other Jonathan Kellerman novels. Nothing rang true about the plot and I didn't care about the characters. I did finish it, but it was a struggle. "

" I really liked it I like the characters... Good story line. "

" Great subject that held my interest. Rather convoluted plot with plenty of strings that came together akwardly. The ending did not do the whole book justice. "

" Alex Delaware #4....mental illness, suicide, blackmail and family secrets in this psychological thriller! "

" Not bad, I've liked some of his other books better. "

" You can't hate it bc it's a Kellerman book, but this isn't one of my favs by him. "

" Featured alternate of the Literary Guild. An Alex Delaware novel "

" nothings black or white, everything is gray. "

" Starts a little slow... But awesome after you get through the first 30 or so pages.... "

" What a deception! Lots of clichés in the women's behaviors, dialogues were tacky and not credible. A total waste of time. Hope the next Delaware will be better... "

" I was bitterly disappointed with this novel after reading other Jonathan Kellerman novels. Nothing rang true about the plot and I didn't care about the characters. I did finish it, but it was a struggle. "

" Compelling with a lot of twists. "

" Very good. Psychological thriller filled with enough twists and turns to keep me busy for a couple of days. "

" Okay, this book was so intriguing that I started reading it again in 2010 and got about a quarter of the way through before I realized I'd read it before. Strange twists one would never expect. "

" Read this one in two days. Got half way through and then realized I read this back in the '80s --- when it first came out! Jeez! <smacks head with palm of hand> "

" Very good story - very convoluted ... just like I prefer it. "

" This book was a very different read. It was interesting, but it was very much in the head type of book. Not much action, but it was very interesting. "

" Engrossing and slow. Intriguing, twisted, but single threaded. That bitch be crazy! A little too perfect for my taste, but entertaining, so I guess I had to rate it over 2 stars. "

" This was received as rabck, it will be released as such. This book belonged to Judy Rockwood who passed away on December 18, 2003. We hope that Judy's books will continue to be enjoyed by others as much as she enjoyed them. We miss you, Judy. "
