Silent Partner is a good example of an author being puppet master with his characters in order to lengthen the story. It is also an example of the more you write the better you get. Through the years the character of Alex Delaware and Milo Sturges become more defined. A lot of time is spent on describing characters in the book. The story is difficult to follow because of all of the descriptions of people. Only three stars were awarded in this review because the story was so draining to the reader. It was not a believable story. ( ) 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. 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! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
