Loading... Flesh and Blood (2001)by Jonathan Kellerman
None. Jonathan Kellerman   jsharvison | Sep 23, 2011 |  Jonathan Kellerman jsharvison | Sep 23, 2011 | Flesh and Blood has all of the elements required for a good murder mystery, mostly believable characters, a number of suspects emerge and fade, until the real baddie appears with powerful motives and the bodies begin to pile up. The essential twist in the tail comes not with the revelation of the murderer but with the consequent rehabilitation of previous suspects and surprising bloodline connections. The plot veers between seedy low life and seedy high life with the occasional unlikely segue but that can be forgiven as I found this to be an enjoyable, well structured and nicely paced thriller. (  )1  DekeDastardly | Sep 2, 2011 | My review from February 25, 2003: An enjoyable, fast -paced who-done-it! It's been a long time since I read a Jonathan Kellerman novel but it certainly does not seem like he's lost his edge! This was a fast-paced , hard-to-put down mystery and I had fun reading it. This is another story about Alex Delaware, the child psychologist turned criminal investigator, his long-time girlfriend Robin and his friend, LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. This time Alex is dealing with a blast from his past when a patient, Lauren Teague, who he treated 2-3 times many years before turns up in a dumpster after being murdered. Her involvement in prostitution and stripping thickens the plot and leads Alex and the reader to some fascinating conclusions. This book kept me guessing until the end and has re-awakened me to Jonathan Kellerman's writing. (  )1 KindleKapers | Apr 21, 2011 | The ending was obvious from the beginning. A little good psychology and detection. But mostly it was the turgid theorizing between Milo and Alex that made this book much too long. (  ) Darrol | Oct 17, 2010 | no reviews | add a review
