About this listen

The most beloved and enduring duo in American crime fiction is back.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Psychologist Alex Delaware and Homicide Detective Milo Sturgis race against time to find a twisted killer in this riveting thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling “master of suspense” (Los Angeles Times).

People come to Los Angeles to chase their dreams. Sometimes they find themselves cast into a nightmare. And sometimes, the most ardent dreamers turn out to be the most vicious monsters.

The body of an aspiring actress is found dumped near a hospital emergency room. She’s been drugged and murdered and the motive for the callous crime remains maddeningly out of reach. Until, a prime suspect materializes. Another Hollywood hopeful. Only to be shot dead by a sniper using a weapon that turns out to have been catalogued in a previous murder. And another, before that. It’s not long before more bodies begin piling up.

What makes the murderous spree baffling is the apparent lack of connection among the victims. Is this the work of a random thrill killer, the toughest of all cases to unravel?

But as Alex and Milo dig deeper they’re faced with an even knottier scenario: a highly complex killer with deep-seated motivation that will require all of their highly honed skills to decipher.

The latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestseller Jonathan Kellerman, is a tale of psychological complexity, dark suspense, and shocking surprises. A wild ride through L.A.’s surreal underbelly climaxed by an edge-of-the chair conclusion.

Critic reviews

Open Season is fast-paced, suspense-laden and boasts a true surprise ending, even for those who thought they had it figured out sooner. Like me.”—BookPage

“The story moves quickly and smoothly, with vivid descriptions . . . A treat for fans of crime fiction. Delaware and Sturgis are a durable duo.”—Kirkus Reviews

“These books are so good; the bromance/working relationship between Milo and Alex [is] the highlight of these novels. Fans of the long running series will enjoy this one.”—Red Carpet Crash

Difficult to listen to.

I've been a fan of this series since it started. Enjoyed the plot but hard to stay focused on because the reading is somewhat stilted. Not what one would expect especially when reading from Alex Delaware' s point of view.

Nine hours with old friends, it was great

John Rubinstein is amazing, I look forward to listening to his narration as much as hearing the story evolve. It's not the best mystery they have solved together, but if you are a long time fan, it's good to have Alex and Milo working on a case.

Never disappoints!

I've been reading the Alex Delaware series for years. Have grown to love the Alex Milo chemistry and the way they work together to solve crimes. There are few series I've read where I look forward to what the characters will say to each other and how they'll work together, but this is definitely one of them. You can't go wrong with a jonathan kellerman book. I highly recommend every book in this series!

Hard to follow

I didn’t like the narration. It was here for me to follow and I have read several of Jonathan Kellerman’s works.

Love Alex Delaware

Building the suspense. The great relationship between Milo and Alex. John Rubinstein is one of the best narrators in the business.

Milo and Alex in another great story!

Love the Alex Delaware books. Have been a reader of them since the very first one. Hopefully don’t have to wait too long for their next case. Would not be the same without John Rubinstein narrating.
