Evidence

An Alex Delaware Novel

De: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrado por: John Rubinstein

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman writes unforgettable tales of crime and detection that expose the shadowy side of glittering Los Angeles. And in Evidence, readers are once again in the dexterous grip of a master storyteller and stylist equally skilled at teasing your brain and taking your breath away.

In the half-built skeleton of a monstrously vulgar mansion in one of L.A.’s toniest neighborhoods, a watchman stumbles on the bodies of a young couple–murdered in flagrante and left in a gruesome postmortem embrace. Though he’s cracked some of the city’s worst slayings, veteran homicide cop Milo Sturgis is still shocked at the grisly sight: a twisted crime that only Milo’s killer instincts–and psychologist Alex Delaware’s keen insights–can hope to solve.

While the female victim’s identity remains a question mark, her companion is ID’d as eco-friendly architect Desmond Backer, who disdains the sort of grandiose superstructure he’s found dead in. And the late Mr. Backer, it’s revealed was also notorious for his power to seduce women.

The rare exception is his ex-boss, Helga Gemein, who’s as indifferent to Desmond’s death as she apparently was to his advances. Though Milo and Alex place her on their short list of suspects, the deeper they dig for clues the longer the list grows. An elusive prince who appears to harbor decidedly American appetites, an eccentric blueblood with an ax to grind, one of Desmond’s restless ex-lovers and her cuckolded husband–all are in the homicidal mix spiced with eco-terrorism, arson, blackmail, conspiracy, and a vendetta that runs deep. But when the investigation veers suddenly in a startling direction, it’s the investigators who may wind up on the wrong end of a cornered predator’s final fury.©2009 Jonathan Kellerman; (P)2009 Random House

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Jonathan Kellerman’s novels are an obsession; once started it is hard to quit.”—Orlando Sentinel

“Kellerman really knows how to keep those pages turning.”—New York Times Book Review

“Kellerman doesn’t just write psychological thrillers—he owns the genre.”—Detroit Free Press

Great story

Evidence kept us on the edge of our seats until the end. It was a great distraction on our 14 hour drive and I don’t think we could have handled sitting in traffic for hours on end if it hadn’t been for this book. I love Milo’s snarky comments and comebacks and the dynamics between the characters. Looking forward to the next one!

Not his best

I found this story just too far out, not realistic. It seems there is less reason for Alex to be called in in each novel

Good book... but

Not the best Kellerman. While it has Milo and Alex together, there is so little personal interaction between both men and their significant others, that it is purely an evidence chase. Not enough of the guys' personalities and various problems and pecadillos as in others. It's good, especially if you know the history. For someone reading this series for the first time, this is not the one to start with.

Kellerman--KILLERMAN

I love Kellerman. Jonathan.
AND love John Rubenstein. This audio book does not disappoint and I am hard to please.
Plus read an article about a year ago on his collection of guitars... cool how he incorporates the Robin the guitar maker....

Got Lost in the Weeds

I love J. Kellerman and enjoyed listening to this narrrator. But I had a very difficult time keeping up with the characters. Confusing to say the least. However, I stuck with it and still recommend all his books.
