Excellent

If you haven't read Jonathan Kellerman you should start at the beginning and you'll love Alex Delaware. I can't wait to read what Alex is up to next!

Another great Delaware novel

Compulsion is riveting. The complex plot kept me reading. Milo and Alex were at their best.

Not his best but still enjoyable. New readers should not start here.

I enjoyed this book more than many of the reviewers, maybe because I've forgotten how good the earlier books are and maybe because it gave me just what I was looking for -- a comfortable visit with old "friends" and a story to pass the time. It wasn't a grippingly suspenseful, nail-biting page turner, but there is always the next book.

My one caution is for any new readers of the Alex Delaware series: put this book back on the shelf and get one of the earlier books. Better yet, start with the first book in the series and read them in order. Part of the reason I enjoyed this book even though it was far from Kellerman's best, is that the characters have grown familiar over the course of the series. I understand who they are and what they do. This is particularly important for understanding why Alex tags along with Milo, presumably unpaid most of the time. Because of that familiarity, I can fill in the blanks and enjoy the book much more than if I had not read all the preceding books.

For the regular fans of the series, just enjoy it for what it is and don't set your expectations too high. It isn't the best of the series, but it is still a book you can enjoy reading.
