    About this audiobook

    The bestselling author of When The Bough Breaks, Blood Test, and Over The Edge delivers the most stunning novel yet and featuring psychologist-detective Dr. Alex Delaware.

    At a party for a controversial Los Angeles sex therapist, Alex encounters a face from his own past--Sharon Ransom, an exquisite, alluring lover who left him abruptly more than a decade earlier. Sharon now hints that he desperately needs help, but Alex evades her. The next day she is dead, an apparent suicide. Driven by guilt and sadness, Alex plunges into the maze of Sharon's life--a journey that will take him through the pleasure palaces of California's ultra-rich, into the dark closets of a family's disturbing past, and finally into the alleyways of the mind, where childhood terrors still hold sway.

    • 5/5
      Review: Pornography, black mail and murder are threads woven together by L.A. psychologist Alex Delaware and his friend, long-time LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis, in a fascinating if grizzly look into the psyche and heart of a woman who once loved him in a neuvo riche and decadent Los Angeles.
    • 3/5
      So I liked the general theme of twins. Is there such a thing as the evil twin? And the ambiguity in the story. Is it a story of twins, or a story of multiple personality, or both? Who knows. Dr. Delaware manages to solve the mystery although I don't really know how. The story is so convoluted and goes back through history to find the true identity of the victim. So overall this was a confusing read for me, but I still enjoyed it because it was so weird.
    • 3/5
      Delaware tries to figure out what happened to someone he used to know. Pre-Facebook, he has to go sleuthing.
    • 4/5
      Psychologist Alex Delaware runs into his graduate school love, and she's in trouble. Estranged from Robin, his long-time girlfriend, he is tempted to meet Sharon when she says she's in trouble and wants to meet. He thinks better of it later, and calls to cancel. The next day, it's reported that Sharon committed suicide. Guilt is the impetus to dig deeper, and he uncovers more than he ever imagined.
    • 2/5
      Poorly conceived and written; strains belief. Coincidence abounds.
    • 3/5
      This was really hard for me to keep reading. I don't know if it was too many characters or just that I didn't really like the topic, but it took a really long time for me to get through. It started getting good the last 150 pages are so, and as usual with Jonathan Kellerman books, I liked the psychology aspects and the twists and turns that kept me guessing. But, probably my least favorite Kellerman book so far.
    • 3/5
      While this "episode" starring Dr. Alex Delaware started out decent enough, I wondered would it ever end. For series development there is a bit of Delaware's background revealed, as well as all is not well in relationship land. The basis for this go round, twins, really or is it a multiple personality, or is it twins, seriously though it was interesting as a story. However, Kellerman as usual has to drag it on too long. The very end was left well enough at Delaware's introspection and relationship status to have you want to continue the series.
    • 4/5
      This is one of my favorite volumes in the mystery genre. Hard to give any details without giving away plot. The mystery of how the mind can be made sick by inheritance. And how serious illness can masquerade as health for some years.
    • 3/5
      The story line in this book was rather hard to follow as it traced the over-the-top bizarre (read: not unbelievable) life of an old girlfriend of Delaware's who turned up dead. Nevertheless, the writing was such that I remained interested throughout.
    • 3/5
      Although I find Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware novels pleasantly trashy and diverting, might I suggest that this tale of slinky hot nubile twins, dual identities, reclusive billionaires, wanton sex, bloody murders, and dissertation review committees gone oh so wrong (the horror!) is perhaps mildly overwrought?
    • 3/5
      Interesting story with a lot of bends. I’ve never heard of Yucaipa in a book before and the things written about the “area” felt a bit .... off.
    • 3/5
      Child psychologist, Alex Delaware, is living life in the dumps temporarily separated from his lover, Robin, who has asked for some space and time to find herself. On a last minute whim, he attends a society soirée and encounters Sharon Ransom, a former girlfriend who makes it abundantly clear that she'd like to meet and re-connect with Alex. Uncertain of either of their motives and feeling to do so would needlessly complicate his life, Alex declines but is horrified to discover the next day that Sharon has taken her own life. No doubt driven by intense feelings of guilt, Alex embarks on an investigation of the circumstances of her suicide and walks into a tangled weave of multiple murder, corporate shenanigans, drugs, sex, pornography and psychological mayhem that only a writer of Kellerman's skill could conceive of and actually keep under control.

      his mystery is easy to get into, but hard to get out of! Jonathan Kellerman keeps digging this "mystery hole"... you feel that you'll never find the ending with all the twists and turns and new information that Alex uncovers! Great book... completely engrossing!
