"A much loved woman's dead body is found in her apartment, victim of horrendous overkill even as her dining room table is perfectly set for a romantic dinner. Turns out her devoted boyfriend has an alibi and, with few clues leading to a suspect, LAPD's Lieutenant Milo Sturgis calls in psychologist Alex Delaware for help. Then another woman's shot execution style; three bullets in the back of her head leave her husband with a profitable business. He's got an alibi too. As the body count builds, Alex and Milo make the horrible realization that they're dealing with a diabolically manipulative killer intent on playing the most twisted and bloodiest kind of game with the cops -- and with Milo, specifically"--… (más)

Motive is a good suspenseful story. There are several characters with motives who could easily have murdered the victims. The suspense is drawn out so that the reader can come to his or her own conclusions which are probably wrong. Four stars were awarded to this book for the good sleuthing on the parts of the characters Milo Sturgis and Alex Delaware. ( )

Hmmm, re-read this because I couldn't find my previous review and assumed I hadn't read it yet. Yes, my memory is that bad. Bad enough, actually, to enjoy reading this a second time as I'd forgotten all the murky permutations and the ultimate evildoer, so it was satisfying. Typical Sturgis and Delaware, in that unrelated cases turn out to be related, through convoluted paths. ( )

#30, really? LAPD detective Milo Sturgis consults Dr. Alex Delaware about a murder case, where he is making no progress. The strangled, stabbed victim is a young woman, and an elegant dinner for two has been set at the murder scene. Then a divorcee is gunned down in a Century City parking garage, after a visit to het lawyer. Unrelated? Hardly although the tie-in takes awhile. Many suspects are introduced, and much of the novel is Alex theorizing about the identity and psychoses of the killer. Milo plays, at best, a supporting role. Lots of violence, with an unexpected ending. ( )

This was a breath of fresh air after reading my last book. While Jonathan Kellerman isn't the story teller James Patterson usually is, Kellerman writes some pretty good mystery-crime novels. Of the writers I have read in this genre Jonathan Kellerman is probably the best and most effective conversationalist writer. His stories are fairly complex but they are, for the most part, simply the framework supporting the excellent dialogue. Over the years he has developed two characters that are almost fully developed and their interactions and combined thought processes make for some pretty good crime novels and often intriguing scenarios.

Overall this was an enjoyable read. The prep was sort of cardboard but the way the story was written, as often is in a Kellerman novel, it was the chase and hunt that gave meat to the story. In this instance the dialogue and interaction of the principle characters were really what made this a good read. Have to say was a bit disappointed by the ending as there were a few unanswered questions, in my mind, that were sort of glossed over and would have been intriguing to have explored further. ( )

Very typical Kellerman "Alex Delaware" story, but quite enjoyable. I love Milo Sturgis' character. ( )
