It came in a plain brown wrapper, no return address: an audiocassette of a soul-lacerating scream, followed by an enigmatic, haunting message delivered in a childlike voice: "Bad love. Bad love. Don't give me the bad love."

For psychologist-detective Dr. Alex Delaware, the chant, repeated over and over like a twisted nursery rhyme, is the first intimation that he is about to enter a living nightmare. If Alex fails to discover the escalating pattern of violence and to decipher the twisted logic of the stalker's mind games, he will be the next to die.

The dog Alex and Robin rescue provides interest and charm in this Delaware book. It has the signature complex plot that totally captivates!

Puppy Love

Interesting, but too many characters and subplots for a audiobook. Not a great narration and the characters are hard to tell apart audibly. Overall, the book is a decent way to pass time, but the climax is frustrating as it's not built up to.

Too much

I have read or listened to (or both) most if not all of the Alex Delaware series. This one falls a bit flat. The plot was okay, but I found it necessary to go back and listen to sections again because my attention wandered. There is something off about the narration. The speed is a bit fast or just not right. I think it’s the sound engineer’s work more than the narrator that is to blame. Of all the Kellerman books I have read, well, this is one of them.

Not The Best

I’ve become a new fan of Kellerman Alex Delaware series and am loyally working my way through the series in order the books were released. I am a huge fan of the Psychological mystery theme, with the detective/sleuth element threaded within the storyline....The storyline of this book was as good as the rest of them, but Alexander Adams had the antagonist down to a Science.....and (without giving out any spoilers) during the climax scene where the reader comes face to face with said antagonist, I was markedly surprised at how, through Adams’ expert shift in characters and their personas, I felt a most realistic terror from the words being spoken in my ears....

BRAVO KELLERMAN; BRAVO ADAMS!!

Best reading yet!!

This is the eight in the series and the weakest one. Kellerman is not great at the denouement in general but here it comes across as an unfounded deus ex machina. The best part of this book were the scenes with the dog. I look forward to better books in the future.

Just okay.

What a change for Alex. Not all the raw sec that he usually has in his stories. And Spike is an added element

Love Spike
