Interesting but somewhat not really my cup of tea。 A mystery thriller crime with romance。 Well written。 I received an advance review copy for free， and I am leaving this review voluntarily。

I’ve remarked on this before — this is a Kellerman book The Kellermans never fail me （Jonathan， Jesse， Faye） and I feel like Alex Delaware （#37） is an old friend （but why he and Robin never get married after 22 books is a mystery）。 I’m not sure how much fictional time has passed since Alex and Milo got together， but I can always jump into the current story as if it’s just been a few months （and， it is an annual get together！） I’ve read other long series， but often I get bored — here’s the except I’ve remarked on this before — this is a Kellerman book The Kellermans never fail me （Jonathan， Jesse， Faye） and I feel like Alex Delaware （#37） is an old friend （but why he and Robin never get married after 22 books is a mystery）。 I’m not sure how much fictional time has passed since Alex and Milo got together， but I can always jump into the current story as if it’s just been a few months （and， it is an annual get together！） I’ve read other long series， but often I get bored — here’s the exception。 After “City of the Dead” I’ll be looking to pre-order #38。 So， thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine/Random House for letting me get Alex and Milo fix earlier than usual。 This book is a classic Alex Delaware。 As usual， there’s a probable crime， this time a naked body with no ID that was hit by a moving van。 Alex gets called in by Milo and the story slowly unfolds as they seek to identify the victim， but that leads to another victim and then another。 Kellerman always gets into the painstaking detail of real detective work — sometimes they just Google to get answers。 The book is well-paced and the fact that Kellerman is a psychologist himself is evident。 I love my time getting to peek into how Alex and Milo work together。Four solid stars — these are always solid detective novels！ I do wish it didn’t finish with a coincidence at the end， although Dr。 Delaware would not have recognized it without the preceding investigation。Literary Pet Peeve Checklist:Green Eyes （only 2% of the real world， yet it seems like 90% of all fictional females）: YES No surprise， because that’s Milo。Horticultural Faux Pas （plants out of season or growing zones， like daffodils in autumn or bougainvillea in Alaska）: NO Kellerman knows his California landscaping。 。。。more
