Book Review: Hard to put down.
Summary: 4 Stars
Time Bomb by Jonathan Kellerman is yet another great mystery with Alex and Milo, this time trying to make sense of a shooting at an elementary school. At first the shooter seems an unlikely candidate for the crime, but as Alex attempts to counsel the school's traumatized kids he begins to suspect the shooter was also suffering from the effects of a childhood trauma. When asked by the father to conduct a psychological autopsy he agrees even though there is little hope for the vindication the father is hoping for. He and Milo dig deeper into the senseless crime and discover it's all a lot bigger than it seemed. Old hippies, Nazis, and a narcissist genius, fill the pages along with radicals from the left and right, crooked politicians, fraudulent psychologists and a cop with questionable ethics. This story has something for everyone and a surprise ending that makes you smile.
Summary of Time Bomb (Alex Delaware)
Edgar Award winner Jonathan Kellerman once more????explores the corruption of California's golden????coast and produces a novel of complex????characterizations and nonstop suspense.????By the time psychologist Dr. Alex????Delaware reached the school the damage was done:????A sniper had opened fire on a crowded playground,????but was gunned down before any children were????hurt.????While????the TV news crews feasted on the scene an Alex????began his therapy sessions with the traumatized????children, he couldn't escape the image of a slight????teenager clutching an oversized rifle. What was the????identity behind the name and face: a would-be????assassin, or just another victim beneath an????indifferent California sky?Intrigued by a request from the sniper's father????to conduct a "psychological autopsy" of????his child, Alex begins to uncover a strange????pattern of innocence, neglect, and loss. Then suddenly????it is more than a pattern -- it is a trail of????blood. In the dead sniper's past was a dark and????vicious plot. And in Alex Delaware's future is the????stuff of grown-up nightmares: the face of real????human evil.
