Such is the size of my book collection that I have started re-reading some of my favorite authors work partly as a means to reducing my outgoings and also as a way of reminding myself of the reason why my collection boasts so much of their work. I have always enjoyed the writing of Jonathan Kellerman despite the recent very poor joint effort with his wife Faye which was very disappointing. In particular I have enjoyed those novels that feature the character Alex Delaware, a child psychologist who works alongside the LAPD as a consultant and often in the company of Milo Sturgis a homicide detective. The Characters Delaware is portrayed as ... Read the complete review

Private Eyes is a rather disappointing psychological thriller of a book that features Alex Delaware a child psychologist who also does consultancy work for the LAPD.

This partiucular story sees Delaware rather isolated and depressed following the break up of his long term relationship while Sturgis is suspended after punching a senior officer.
