Summary: 4 Stars
Jonathan Kellerman once again draws us quickly into the world of Child Psychiatrist Alex Delaware and Detective friend Milo Sturgis. A former patient has trouble sleeping due to a recurring nightmare that may or may not be based on suppressed memories.
Once again the whodunit is a well kept secret and finding the answer means twists and turns that keep you guessing. Self Defense is another hit from Kellerman, whose Alex Delaware series are all must-reads for anyone who likes the mystery genre.
Summary of Self-Defense (Alex Delaware)
Dr. Alex Delaware doesn’t see many private patients anymore, but the young woman called Lucy is an exception. So is her dream. Lucy Lowell is referred to Alex by Los Angeles police detective Milo Sturgis. A juror at the agonizing trial of a serial killer, Lucy survived the trauma only to be tormented by a recurring nightmare: a young child in the forest at night, watching a strange and furtive act.Now Lucy’s dream is starting to disrupt her waking life, and Alex is concerned. The power of the dream, its grip on Lucy’s emotions, suggests to him that it may be more than a nightmare. It may be the repressed childhood memory of something very real. Something like murder.
