Obsession

An Alex Delaware Novel

De: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrado por: John Rubinstein

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman is the unequivocal “master of the psychological thriller” (People).

Tanya Bigelow was a solemn little girl when Dr. Alex Delaware successfully treated her obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Now, at nineteen, Patty Bigelow, Tanya’s aunt and adoptive mother, has made a deathbed confession of murder and urged the young woman to seek Delaware’s help.
Armed with only the vaguest details, Delaware follows a trail twisting from L.A.’s sleaziest low-rent districts to its overblown mansions, retracing Patty and Tanya’s nomadic and increasingly puzzling life. Then a very real murder tears open a terrifying tunnel into the past, where secrets–and bodies–are buried.
Dramatic, action-packed, and filled with the psychological detail that only Jonathan Kellerman can provide, Obsession is a whodunit, a whydunit–and something unique: a did-it-even-happen? This is Kellerman at his heart-racing best.©2007 Plotline, Inc.; (P)2007 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a Division of Random House, Inc.

I really liked it

I have got most of Kellermans books and injoyed them all

Might have been better as a hardcopy

This is one which might have been better abridged or as a hardcopy book. The audiobook was way too long for the story and at times was hard to follow with all the characters and the slow moving plot line. (Would have moved faster in the abridged version!). Not one of the most thrilling thrillers I've come across in a while.

Obsession - review

Engaging story - narrator does poor girl voices. Not exactly a mystery novel. The author is indulgent in his leaps to conclusions conveniently supported by subsequent evidence. Entertaining nevertheless.

A little weak

Great book overall, plotting, etc...but in comparison to his others, a bit weak in character development of new characters, motive and hook. Alex and Milo are always wonderful, tho.

Obsession (unabridged)

Like a previous reviewer, I felt that this novel would have been more enjoyable in the abridged version. Not a page-turner, but OK.
