Publisher Description
Jonathan Kellerman has made the psychological thriller his own gripping province with his bestselling series of Alex Delaware novels. Now, Delaware’s new adventure leads the sleuthing psychologist on a harrowing exploration into the realm he knows best: the human psyche, in all its complexity, mystery, and terrifying propensity for darkness. “Been a while since I had me a nice little whodunit,” homicide detective Milo Sturgis tells Alex Delaware. But there’s definitely nothing nice about the brutal tableau behind the yellow crime-scene tape. On a lonely lover’s lane in the hills of Los Angeles, a young couple lies murdered in a car. Each bears a single gunshot wound to the head. The female victim has also been impaled by a metal spike. And that savage stroke of psychopathic fury tells Milo this case will call for more than standard police procedure. As he explains to Delaware, “Now we’re veering into your territory.” It is dark territory, indeed. The dead woman remains unidentified and seemingly unknown to everyone. But her companion has a name: Gavin Quick—and his troubled past eventually landed him on a therapist’s couch. It’s there, on familiar turf, that Delaware hopes to find vital clues. And that means going head-to-head with Dr. Mary Lou Koppel, a popular celebrity psychologist who fiercely guards the privacy of her clients . . . dead or alive. But when there’s another gruesomely familiar murder, Delaware surmises that his investigation has struck a nerve. As he trolls the twisted wreckage of Quick’s tormented last days, what he finds isn’t madness, but the cold-blooded method behind it. And as he follows a chain of greed, corruption, and betrayal snaking hideously through the profession he thought he knew, he’ll discover territory where even he never dreamed of treading. As provocative as it is suspenseful, Therapy is premier Kellerman that finds the award-winning author firing on all creative cylinders—and carrying readers on an electrifying ride to a place only he can take them, for an experience they won’t soon forget.

"This author was recommended to me because I had read Stephen White and liked him. It is funny because they are both clinical psychologists in real life. I thought "Therapy" by Jonathan Kellerman was a very good book. The plot was well conceived and kept my interest. I will read this author again."
— Marc (4 out of 5 stars)

" Jonathan Kellerman seldom disappoints. This Alex Delaware/Mile Sturgis mystery held my interest throughout and I read it in less than 24 hours. "
— Joan, 2/14/2014 -
" Once again a new author for me. I enjoyed reading this book and can see why he is a bestseller author. I'm glad I don't have to go to therapy after reading about this clinic. "
— Cindy, 2/10/2014 -
" Another Alex Delaware book, with some good plot twists. "
— Phil, 1/31/2014 -
" I usually am more drawn in by Jonathan Kellerman novels than I was with this one. Granted, I read the final 2/3rd of it pretty sporadically due to the birth of my daughter & few opportunities to read during those early weeks. "
— Allison, 1/29/2014 -
" good,but slightly overlong story,would read another by this author. "
— Rachel, 1/26/2014 -
" Took me a while to figure out where the bad guys were. Not complaining about it though as I am really liking Kellerman's work. Now onto "Rage". "

" A good Alex Delaware novel... "
— Jacq, 12/15/2013 -
" Language! I enjoy the Alex Delaware stories except for the language. Alex, a psychologist, works with the police to help solve crimes. This story is about a group of pyschologists that scam the welfare system and end up paying for their greed big time! "

— Georgene, 5/5/2013 -
" Good read, enjoyed the plot. "
— Audrey, 12/4/2012 -
" This was the most boring book I have read in a very long time. It was page after page of uselessness, the entire middle of the book could have been erased. I'm starting to re-think my love for the Alex Delaware series of books. "
— Denise, 3/29/2012 -

" Therapy (Alex Delaware) by Jonathan Kellerman (2005) "
— Julie, 11/28/2011 -
" As with many of the Alex Delaware novels, this book kept me interested. It's no great work of fiction but it is fun and fast-paced. I like the characters, who are all a little bit off the beaten path. "
— Rorry, 11/17/2011 -

" Another Excellent book by Jonathan Kellerman! "
— Shelly, 7/30/2011 -
" I had not read a book by this author before. i would read another. It sure kept me reading. I liked the protagonist and his sidekick. It was right on the edge of what I could read in terms of violence. The problem with it, is the ending let me down. "
— Imelda, 5/16/2011 -
" Con-vo-luted. Way to much "here's what happened" in the last chapter. "
— Meaghan, 5/6/2011 -
" it was a good book but there were too many irrelevent subplots "
— Nora, 4/18/2011 -

" The Deleware books are like old friends to me now. THey don't surprise me much, and they're pretty predictable. But I'm always grateful that they're here. "
— Bart, 10/11/2010 -
" There are some great and surprising characters in this book who unfortunately do nothing surprising. I think the reason I rated it so low is because the end disappoints. Prior to the ending, it is a page turning smart mystery. But you've got to have an ending. "
— Astraia, 9/11/2010 -
" I usually am more drawn in by Jonathan Kellerman novels than I was with this one. Granted, I read the final 2/3rd of it pretty sporadically due to the birth of my daughter & few opportunities to read during those early weeks. "
