    About this audiobook

    Upon his return to Los Angeles from a harrowing adventure in the South Pacific, Alex is called upon by his friend Milo Sturgis to help solve the murder of a celebrity author.

    For three months the police found no clues to the murder of Hope Devane, psychology professor and controversial author of a pop-psych bestseller about men. She was found stabbed to death on a quiet, shaded street in one of L.A.'s best neighborhoods. The evidence suggested not random slaughter, but cold, calculated stalking. And the list of potential suspects was as extensive as the audience for her book and her talk show appearances.

    Newly assigned to the cold case, homicide detective Milo Sturgis calls on his friend, Dr. Alex Delaware to seek out insights into the victim's high-profile life. What Alex uncovers is a series of troubling inconsistencies about Hope, including her contradictory personas: the sensational, anti-male bestselling author versus the low-key scholarly university professor.

    But it is when Alex delves into Hope's childhood that he begins to understand the forces that made her the formidable woman she was--and the ties that entangled her life until the horrifying act of betrayal that ended it.

      Good story!
      Delaware is really becoming a force in his own right.
      Amazingly, it wasn't until page 564 [large type edition] that bougainvillea was mentioned.
    • 4/5
      This book started out a little slow, but glad I stuck with it...it got a lot better about halfway through.
    • 3/5
      The Clinic. Jonathan Kellerman. 1997. Obviously I missed the Alex Delaware title when it came out, but it was as enjoyable as always and follows the traditional and successful formula of the other books in this series. Milo, Alex’s homicide detective friend has a case he cannot solve and he asks him for help. A professor who has become famous for her book on male-female relations has been stabbed. So Milo and Alex look into her past and present life. Robin is still making her musical instruments and whatever problems she and Alex had in earlier novels have been solved. As always, these books are suspenseful and interesting to read
    • 4/5
      I think that this is probably one of the best Alex Delaware books in the set. It has a wide variety of characters, and plot changed that keep you guessing the whole way through. The murder of a college psychology professor, with too many suspects to even begin to guess the guilty party. As usual the dynamics between Alex and Milo make for quite an interesting read. They are defenitely a good team.
    • 4/5
      I have a real soft spot for this series; it was one of the first suspense series I ever started. I’ve been reading books in this series for almost 20 years, and in nowhere near the intended order. And that’s the nice thing about it — I may not know what house Delaware is living in or what the status of his relationship with Robin is when I start the book, but each stands alone so well that it doesn’t matter. In The Clinic, Kellerman gives us yet another solid mystery, with a touch of questionable moralities and more than a little psychology. When you start an Alex Delaware novel, rarely do you know where it’s going to end up. If you’re a suspense fan and you haven’t started this series, what are you waiting for?
    • 3/5
      Entertaining and a little gruesome. Underlying plot a little unlikely, and not a lot of real psychological insight. Dragged at the end. I enjoyed the woman who rescued dogs, with Mexican and New England background. And I enjoyed the kid who came to the defense of his sterilized--"Spade!"--, nympho girlfriend.
    • 4/5
      In my eyes, the story wasn't incredibly gripping. What I can say is that I love the way Kellerman writes, he paints such lovely portraits of characters and locations... This talent makes even a mediocre story feel so much better.No, not his best work. But hey, the guy churns these things out quite quickly, it has to be hard to be fantastic for EVERY story.
    • 3/5
      I always find myself saying the same things about Kellerman's books: I like them, they have interesting and gripping stories, the caracters are believable but it just has too many bla bla bla through the middle. And that makes the reading somewhat slow.Well, worth reading anyway :)
    • 3/5
      Not Kellerman's best. Preposterous plot involving -- oh, what the hell. If you like Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series, read it for completeness; all the rest of you shouldn't read it anyway, so who cares what the story is about?
