#1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman writes unforgettable tales of crime and detection that expose the shadowy side of glittering Los Angeles. And in Evidence, readers are once again in the dexterous grip of a master storyteller and stylist equally skilled at teasing your brain and taking your breath away. In the half-built skeleton of a monstrously vulgar mansion in one of L.A.’s toniest neighborhoods, a watchman stumbles on the bodies of a young couple–murdered in flagrante and left in a gruesome postmortem embrace. Though he’s cracked some of the city’s worst slayings, veteran homicide cop Milo Sturgis is still shocked at the grisly sight: a twisted crime that only Milo’s killer instincts–and psychologist Alex Delaware’s keen insights–can hope to solve. While the female victim’s identity remains a question mark, her companion is ID’d as eco-friendly architect Desmond Backer, who disdains the sort of grandiose superstructure he’s found dead in. And the late Mr. Backer, it’s revealed was also notorious for his power to seduce women. The rare exception is his ex-boss, Helga Gemein, who’s as indifferent to Desmond’s death as she apparently was to his advances. Though Milo and Alex place her on their short list of suspects, the deeper they dig for clues the longer the list grows. An elusive prince who appears to harbor decidedly American appetites, an eccentric blueblood with an ax to grind, one of Desmond’s restless ex-lovers and her cuckolded husband–all are in the homicidal mix spiced with eco-terrorism, arson, blackmail, conspiracy, and a vendetta that runs deep. But when the investigation veers suddenly in a startling direction, it’s the investigators who may wind up on the wrong end of a cornered predator’s final fury.
Summary: The evidence points to another good thriller from Kellerman
Rating: 5
The last few books in the Alex Delaware-Milo Sturgis series just haven't done it for me. On a whim I picked this up this morning at a local bookstore and started to read it shortly there after...and continued to read. Had popcorn for lunch while I read. A candy bar for dinner while I read. And finished it a couple of hours ago. This is one of Kellerman's best. The book opens with a couple found dead by a night watchman in a compromising, artfully arranged position in one of the better neighborhoods in Los Angeles. At first glance they appear to be lovers caught in a tryst, but to Delaware and Sturgis the evidence suggests something darker and more sinister. As Alex and Milo follow the evidence they experience twists and turns, but what is unique about this book is the focus on Milo rather than Alex. We get to watch him solve the crime and Alex becomes more of a background character. There are a lot of suspects from the dead man's boss to the home's owner, an Arabian prince. As Milo and Alex work their way through the suspects and the evidence, the story remains credible and exciting. Sturgis has some wonderful scenes from battling the FBI to interrogating a suspect. This book goes a long way to revitalizing the series! Will be looking forward to book #25.
Summary: The Architecture Of Murder
Rating: 5
Desmond Backer was a popular, eco-friendly L.A. architect. He was also a relentless womanizer. Whatever he was, he's now dead--found in a half-constructed house, in a compromising position with a young woman. His employer doesn't seem to care much, but several other people had strong opinions about the dead man. And just who is the mysterious woman found dead with him? L.A. cop Milo Sturgis is determined to solve the mystery with the help of his friend, Alex Delaware. EVIDENCE is the 23rd Jonathan Kellerman mystery to feature the wonderful child psychologist/amateur detective, Alex Delaware, and his stalwart cop friend, Milo. Ever since the Edgar-winning first book in the series, When the Bough Breaks (Alex Delaware), these two have been an unbeatable team. Over the years, this series has lost none of its freshness and attention to the details of psychological profiling and police investigation, and the mystery plots themselves are always solid and surprising. EVIDENCE is perfect (forgive me) evidence of Kellerman's long-lasting mastery of his craft. Highly recommended.
