Obsession
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman is the unequivocal “master of the psychological thriller” (People).
Tanya Bigelow was a solemn little girl when Dr. Alex Delaware successfully treated her obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Now, at nineteen, Patty Bigelow, Tanya’s aunt and adoptive mother, has made a deathbed confession of murder and urged the young woman to seek Delaware’s help.
Armed with only the vaguest details, Delaware follows a trail twisting from L.A.’s sleaziest low-rent districts to its overblown mansions, retracing Patty and Tanya’s nomadic and increasingly puzzling life. Then a very real murder tears open a terrifying tunnel into the past, where secrets–and bodies–are buried.
Dramatic, action-packed, and filled with the psychological detail that only Jonathan Kellerman can provide, OBSESSION is a whodunit, a whydunit–and something unique: a did-it-even-happen? This is Kellerman at his heart-racing best.

- content: With his rough-hewn avuncular voice, John Rubinstein is an integral part of Jonathan Kellerman's series about psychologist Alex Delaware and his detective friend, Milo. OBSESSION is the usual mix of mystery with a little mirth, though there is little amusing about a young woman searching for answers after her adoptive mother's death. It soon becomes clear that she would have been better off in blissful ignorance. As always, Rubinstein plays the two main characters perfectly. To his credit, he plays Milo, a gay cop, with nuances that place the emphasis on his job, not his sexuality--as Kellerman clearly intends. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

February 26, 2007
The 21st Alex Delaware novel (after 2006's Gone
) from bestseller Kellerman contains fewer twists than usual for this contemporary thriller series. Once again, Delaware, an accomplished psychologist, teams with his friend Milo Sturgis, an LAPD detective, to probe a mystery, though this time there's considerable doubt as to the nature of the puzzle. Teenager Tanya Bigelow, whom Delaware treated as a child for obsessive-compulsive disorder, consults him because her aunt Patty, who raised her, conveyed a cryptic message just before she died, apparently confessing to a crime. Shortly after Delaware and Sturgis start investigating, one of Patty's former neighbors turns up dead, the first in a series of corpses that appear, possibly as a result of the duo's turning over old rocks. Since the identity of the killer is revealed relatively early on, the final sections are short on suspense.
