Dr. Death: An Alex Delaware Novel

Dr. Death (aka Dr. Eldon Mate) is responsible for many assisted suicides. Dr. Mate is brutually murdered and the story revolves around who killed the doctor. There are too many extraneous plots and suspects. I felt that these were techniques used to only add pages to the storyline and to add a little suspense here and there. By page 116 (out of 352 pages) I was beginning not to care who did it. I am a great fan of Jonathan Kellerman, particularly the Alex Delaware series, and have read all of his books. This book is not his best and definitely not of the high standards as his other psychological thrillers.

Jonathan Kellerman has done it again! I enjoyed the rich storytelling way in which he wrote this book. I found myself several times getting caught up in the characters lives. It is a book I'd definitely read again. Dr. Death depicts the psychological thrillers Kellerman is known for. It's suspenseful twists and turns, sends readers in to a whirlwind of demonic mazes, stealth bound hills, and unseen hallways of the psychopathic mind. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who could stomach the suspense riddled plots born only in Kellerman's mind, through Dr. Death.

The most difficult book to get interested in~~~too many characters in the storyline, jumps around too much, and a lot of unnecessary info. Never read past the seventh chapter. The beginning chapters did not make you wonder what was happening on the next page.
I am not a fan of Jonathan Kellerman. First and last book that I will try to read from this author.

The characters were interesting, but no one in the story would I want to live next door to. Otherwise, carelessly plotted, murky in exposition, NO ACTION at all, with the bulk of the story being Stream-of Consciousness psychobabble.

Dr. Death by Johathan Kellerman was a tremendous disappointment for me. It is the last Kellelrman I will read and I am just thankful I did not purchase the book. I am really tired of his distortion of Los Angeles...some of the simpler folks that read his books might take the info as fact when it is not. I think he should be ashamed of himsefl, but he sells so I guess thats not a possibility, too bad. I am downtown most every weekend enjoying the music center, the new Cathedral, extending out to the beaches and the valleys.

This was my first Kellerman novel. I thought it was well written, and enjoyed it until the end. What a disappointment. Very anticlimatic and left too many subplots unresolved. Perhaps these will be tied together in future novels, but it did not leave me with the urge to read any continuing novels.

I have read every book Jonathan Kellerman has written. This is the only book of his that I finally gave up on. Kept waiting for it to grab me. Didn't happen, but he will continue to be my favorite author.

I am Kellerman reader, but seemed to have missed this one. Sorry to have found it. Maybe like other authors, unable to continue satisfying the readers expectations. Finished it, but couldn't wait. He can do and has done much better.
