Bad Love

An Alex Delaware Novel

De: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrado por: Alexander Adams

It came in a plain brown wrapper, no return address--an audiocassette recording of a horrifying, soul-lacerating scream, followed by the sound of a childlike voice chanting: "Bad love. Bad love. Don't give me the bad love... ". For Alex Delaware the tape is the first intimation that he is about to enter a living nightmare. Others soon follow: disquieting laughter echoing over a phone line that suddenly goes dead, a chilling act of trespass and vandalism. He has become the target of a carefully orchestrated campaign of vague threats and intimidation rapidly building to a crescendo as harassment turns to terror, mischief to madness. With the help of his friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, Alex uncovers a series of violent deaths that may follow a diabolical pattern. And if he fails to decipher the twisted logic of the stalker's mind games, Alex will be the next to die. Taut, penetrating, terrifying, Bad Love is vintage Kellerman.

Puppy Love

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

Riveting story.

Held my interest from beginning to the very end. Jonathan Kellerman does not disappoint. Highly recommend this book.

Too much

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.

Not The Best

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.

Best reading yet!!

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!!
