From Booklist
"Sometimes anxiety and fear make me feel alive." That's psychologist Alex Delaware's take on life and, by extension, his rationale for assisting his LAPD pal Milo Sturgis with the various criminal investigations that come across his desk. Lucky for fans of this long-running and wildly successful series, that's pretty often. This time the crime, the murder of a couple of twentysomethings parked in a secluded spot, is exceptionally vicious. When Delaware and Sturgis investigate, they discover one of the victims was associated with a celebrity psychologist. Therapy emerges as the key to the mystery after the psychologist and another of her patients turn up dead, but there's a tangled mess to unravel before it's clear precisely how it plays a part. As the investigation widens, numerous gritty secrets come to light and a deliciously complicated solution unfolds. As in most Delaware novels, it's the manipulation of circumstance that drives the story, and though the plot here shoots off in some unexpected directions, Kellerman shrewdly manages to bring everything together by the end; there's even a nifty surprise. And, of course, it's all neatly delivered in Delaware's urbane yet casual voice. Thumbs up yet again for the ever-popular Kellerman. Stephanie Zvirin

Format:Taschenbuch
Das neue Buch von Jonathan Kellerman - Therapy - ist wieder ein spannender Krimi rund um den Kinder-Psychologen Alex Delaware.
Zwei Jugendliche - ein junger Mann und ein Mädchen - werden tot in ihrem Cabrio auf einem unbewohnten Grundstück entdeckt.
Der Bursche ist Patient bei einer sehr bekannten Psychologin, die Tote allerdings trägt keine Papiere bei sich und kann lange Zeit nicht identifiziert werden.
Die Eltern - vor allem der Vater - des Jungen scheinen nicht sehr überascht von der Todesnachricht ihres Sohnes. Hat der Vater etwas mit dem Mord zu tun?
Nach langwierigen Recherchen kann Alex Delaware doch die Identität des jungen Mädchens lüften. Hilft es ihm und seinem Polizei-Freund Milo Sturgis bei der Suche nach dem Mörder?
Dann wird auch die Psychologin des Jungen gewaltsam umgebracht. Und die Aufmersamkeit der Polizei fällt auf die Gemeinschaftspraxis, die die tote Psychologin mit 2 Kollegen geteilt hat.
Spanndender Krimi mit vielen überraschenden Wendungen! Lesenswert!

Disappointed
14. Mai 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Psychologist and Police Consultant, Alex Delaware is back to help Homicide Detective, Milo Sturgis investigate the killing of two young adults murdered in a Lover's Lane type setting. The fact that a metal spike, along with a gunshot wound, impaled the woman indicates more than a routine killing. The woman remains unidentified, but the young man turns out to have had a personality change due to a recent car accident. He was seeing noted celebrity psychologist, Dr. Mary Lou Koppel, for his problems. Through the investigation, another similarly murdered patient of Dr. Koppel's comes to light. Before long, Dr. Koppel herself is found murdered. The killings seem to be linked; and Alex and Milo work to find what how.
I usually love the Alex Delaware series and this one started out well enough, but about half way through the book, it turned deadly dull. The characters were not likable and I could just not care what happened to any of them. It was bad enough that the plot was uninteresting, but it turned ridiculous as well. Alex Delaware's personal story was hardly explored at all. First time Alex Delaware readers will be at a loss to know anything about his backstory even though his girlfriend and ex-girlfriend both make an appearance in the story.
First half of the book was perhaps 4 stars and the second half 2 stars for an average of 3 even though it pains me to rate one of my favorite authors so low.

THERAPY by Jonathan Kellerman
August 24, 2004
THERAPY is Jonathan Kellerman's latest Alex Delaware novel. In this novel, Alex and Milo Sturgis are on a mission to figure out the connection between a murder that has just occurred in Beverly Hills, and one that happened previously and left unsolved. The victims of the first murder are a man and a woman, found shot and stabbed in a car parked outside a Beverly Hills home. It almost appears to be a sexually motivated murder, judging by the positions the couple was left in at the murder scene. The male victim was seeing a therapist, Mary Lou Koppel, and that is where the investigation begins. The previously murdered woman was also found in a sexual position, and is later found to have been going to therapy as well.
The connection between the two is rather flimsy until Dr Koppel herself gets murdered. There is definitely a link between all three, and it is up to Alex and Milo to find out the connection.
I've only read a handful of Alex Delaware novels, and I have enjoyed them all, but this one was the least favorite so far. I found myself losing interest during parts of the novel, which were filled with a lot of political rhetoric. I didn't think there was a need to go into that much detail in a novel such as this. A few paragraphs would have sufficed. I also was not happy with the ending, feeling that there were some unanswered questions that could have been resolved. All in all, however, I do recommend THERAPY but for new fans of Jonathan Kellerman, I suggest starting with one of his older novels.

Solid mystery
16. Oktober 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis investigate the murder of a young couple, which soon engulfs them in an increasingly complex mystery.
Jonathan Kellerman is great at creating complicated, well-developed plots and shows no signs here of losing his touch. I also quite liked the supporting characters, especially the Quick family.
My only real problem with Kellerman is his over-reliance on description. I don't really need to know what the bookshelves of some minor character looks like. His descriptions can sometimes run as long as an entire page, and I just wind up skimming.
Otherwise, another highly satisfying book from one of crime's best writers.
