1.0 out of 5 starsRun, do not walk, away from this thing
By A. Brown on August 31, 2015
Format: Hardcover
The review made me choose adjectives for plot ( "full of surprises") and characters ("complex") but I did not have the options "full of ridiculous surprises" or "complex in a way that would never happen in a real human being." Grace Blades is a clinical psychologist who is lauded as a brilliant healer of the traumatized. She is such a brilliant sociopath that even as she fakes all emotions and suppresses all feelings in her personal life she is somehow empathetic and caring enough to save those who are lost. But! She is also a sexual huntress who goes out on the prowl and picks up strangers for sex. During one of these encounters she becomes entangled with a figure from her past and then has to solve some kind of mystery involving a cult, adoptions, various universities in California (and of course also Harvard because She.Is. Brilliant.) a former case worker turned attorney, a property scam, a deaf woman, and I don't know what else. During her investigation she drives around California in an Aston Martin and various rental vehicles, and eats a lot of turkey jerky and orders a lot of food we are told she doesn't eat, why this is important I never figured out. Yes, the sainted Dr. Delaware makes a cameo. I thought this was the worst Kellerman I'd read but I seem to recall one in the Delaware series where they stumble across some mutant mole people at the end? Which are never referred to again in the next book. I think that was equally bad. Do not buy this book or even get it from the library, it was awful.

3.0 out of 5 starsSuper Hero Psychologist
By Antigone Walsh VINE VOICE on July 23, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Life is a far cry from Grace's desperate beginnings. Now an independently wealthy, wildly successful psychologist, she was born into a family of violent, addicted losers. After the brutal deaths of her parents, she is shunted into the foster care system. Intellectually gifted, she quickly learns to keep to herself. Her life takes a turn for the better when she is placed at a ranch run by an elderly widow. The woman's brother-in-law, a brilliant psychologist, takes a strong interest in Grace. But death interrupts her happiness at the ranch after the admission of three strange children. Luckily the psychologist and his wife intervene and Grace thinks the nightmares of the past are long gone. But she is wrong. When a one night stand turned patient winds up murdered, Grace decides that no bad deed should be left unpunished.

Although well written, this book was not successful. I was not convinced by Grace. She seems as sociopathic as her quarry. Her transformation from emotionally unavailable, suspicious foster child to compassionate shrink was not credible. She is highly manipulative, faking empathy and affection. Her wild sexual forays were unhealthy and risky, certainly not the behavior of a well adjusted individual. Her promiscuity does not seem believable. She was not sexually abused as a child and detests physical contact. Similarly, her interest in weaponry and self defense is extreme. Selfish and cold, her role as defender of the downtrodden blessed with superhuman abilities was unconvincing. She stalks, she kills and disposes of the body and the evidence. Her detective skills are extraordinary. The cop on the case disappears after a limited appearance and the details of the crimes are, for the most part, speculation on Grace's part.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother Great Book from Jonathan Kellerman!
By Sasha Q. TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on July 18, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Wow! I never thought I would have to apologize for writing a 5 star review and enjoying a novel, and I am not going to start now. I loved this book and am proudly going to state that in the following review:

Jonathan Kellerman has written a stand-alone novel in the genre he is so famous for, mystery/thriller. In my usual manner with a JK novel, I devoured it from front to back within a few days. And, I was sad when it was over. Mr. Kellerman is the author of the popular Alex Delaware series of novels, and I have read every one, and thoroughly enjoyed them. This new book is no exception. As in the Delaware series, the protagonist is a psychologist. Grace has a traumatic past, herself, so this helped to propel her into becoming a therapist. In typical Kellerman fashion, the heroine's life intersects with someone from her past, and, before she knows it, she is knee deep in trouble with a murder and a mystery of her own to piece together and solve.

I think the reason people are having trouble relating to Grace as a "real" person is because I believe Kellerman created a sociopathic heroine. Not everyone who is a sociopath or psychopath leads a criminal lifestyle. Grace may be an example (albeit fictional) of a person with this psychological profile (stunted upbringing, lack of parental nurturing, foster care child, learned early to do/say what made people happy, highly intelligent, etc.) who turned their personality disorder into a productive lifestyle. Her character "flaw" actually works for the profession she is in--she knows exactly how to nurture others and tell them what they need to hear, although, may be unable to experience those feelings and emotions, herself (hence, her strange/detached sexual liaisons).Read more ›
