#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The iconic thriller series that inspired the upcoming streaming show on Prime Video, in development now!

Alex Delaware and LAPD detective Milo Sturgis investigate the death of Alex’s most mysterious patient to date in this sensational thriller from the master of suspense, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman.

At nearly one hundred years old, Thalia Mars is a far cry from the patients that child psychologist Alex Delaware normally treats. But the charming, witty woman convinces Alex to meet with her in a suite at the Aventura, a luxury hotel with a checkered history.

What Thalia wants from Alex are answers to unsettling questions—about guilt, patterns of criminal behavior, victim selection. When Alex asks the reason for her morbid fascination, Thalia promises to tell all during their next session. But when he shows up the following morning, he is met with silence: Thalia is dead in her room.

When questions arise about how Thalia perished, Alex and homicide detective Milo Sturgis must peel back the layers of a fascinating but elusive woman’s life and embark on one of the most baffling investigations either of them has ever experienced. For Thalia Mars is a victim like no other, an enigma who harbored nearly a century of secrets and whose life and death draw those around her into a vortex of violence.

Alex Delaware

99 year old woman is killed 3 weeks before her 100th BD & 1 day after Alex's first visit to her. Enjoyable storyline with instructions & outs told wonderfully by Mr. Rubinstein.

Wonderful story better voice

Loved the story. Was most impressed by the way John Rubenstien is able to go between characters seamlessly.

Not his best, as many have said

I've been reading the Alex Delaware series since the beginning, but it does happen that things get stale. It is the usual character interaction that is familiar, comfortable, but predictable. The story line is a bit stale also. What made this book hard to finish was the casual lack of concern regarding the science of gemstones. As a mineralogist, that made things go steeply downhill. Not important to the story, or probably to most readers, but does an author have to promote inaccuracy? Just my opinion and reaction.

always ready for another Delaware novel.

Ehat better team than Alex and Milo? I have to confess Milo is my favorite. look forward to them every time.

Great Kellerman as usual!

Great story (plot), narration, & over all great experience! Recommend it to all Dr. Delaware fans!
