Description In Favor Of Books When the Bough Breaks (Alex Delaware #1)

In the first Alex Delaware novel, Dr. Morton Handler practiced a strange brand of psychiatry. Among his specialties were fraud, extortion, and sexual manipulation. Handler paid for his sins when he was brutally murdered in his luxurious Pacific Palisades apartment. The police have no leads, but they do have one possible witness: seven-year-old Melody Quinn. It's psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware's job to try to unlock the terrible secret buried in Melody's memory. But as the sinister shadows in the girl's mind begin to take shape, Alex discovers that the mystery touches a shocking incident in his own past. This connection is only the beginning, a single link in a forty-year-old conspiracy. And behind it lies an unspeakable evil that Alex Delaware must expose before it claims another innocent victim: Melody Quinn.

Evaluate Regarding Books When the Bough Breaks (Alex Delaware #1)

This series is consistently good. I am glad I found a go to author that will reliably write something I enjoy reading. This is the first in the series, and I decided to read them in order. I think it was a good decision. This book describes Milo and Alex first meeting, and the character building is important. For me, character driven writing is what enables immersion in the plot. This author excels at it, and he definitely brings the protagonist to life. I am sure his background in psychology

Nice one, read this years and years ago.

This wasn't the first Alex Delaware novel I'd read. I had the good fortune of being introduced to Jonathan Kellerman with Monster. And what an introduction it was. In my experience, the Alex Delaware novels are a bit hit and miss. Some are really good. Some just aren't.This novel, however, was a winner of the Edgar award, and being a bit of a fan I decided to start the series from scratch. All things considered, and keeping the character development of Alex Delaware in mind, that is probably the

I've read everything Kellerman wrote. If you like mysteries and the added element of a character that continues throughout, you'll love these - I really enjoyed them! I think there is a new one out now...

This is the first book in Jonathan Kellerman's long-running series featuring Alex Delaware, a child psychologist. Burned out, Alex has retired from his practice at the age of thirty-three after consulting in a particularly unsettling case involving the young victims of a serial pedophile. The children are well on the road to recovery, but Alex is in desperate need of some down time.But then Dr. Morton Handler, a psychiatrist, is brutally murdered along with his girlfriend in the apartment that

When I read that this was the first Alex Delaware book Jonathan Kellerman had written (or at least published), I was actually looking forward to see how Alex and Milo met and became friends. I thoroughly failed to realize that the operative word here was book. Not case. It was the first Alex Delaware book, not the first case for Alex and Milo. Their first case is actually mentioned, or better summarzied, but the story itself is about something different. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Jonathan Kellerman began the Alex Delaware series in 1985 with the 29th book in the series scheduled for publication in early 2014. This review is being written in January 2014. I have a bookshelf of Alex Delaware books as I went on a used book buying binge after I first discovered Kellerman. I read Monster about a year ago. It has taken me a while to get back to him. I am reading a couple of serious books but began casting around for a book that might be a page turner for me, something that I
