The Conspiracy Club

By: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrated by: Rob Kahn

When his brief, passionate romance with nurse Jocelyn Banks is cut short by her kidnapping and brutal murder, young psychologist Dr. Jeremy Carrier is left emotionally devastated, haunted by his lover’s grisly demise and warily eyed by police still seeking a prime suspect in the unsolved slaying. To escape the pain, he buries himself in his work at City Central Hospital—only to be drawn deeper into a waking nightmare when more women turn up murdered in the same gruesome fashion as Jocelyn . . . and the suspicion surrounding Jeremy intensifies. Now, the only way to prove his innocence and put his torment to rest is to follow the deadly trail of a modern-day Jack the Ripper.©2003 Jonathan Kellerman; (P)2003 Random House, Inc., Random House Audio, A Division Of Random House, Inc.

The conspiracy club

Great mystery, interesting developments with Kellerman’s prerequisite dark human psychology. Internet ing characters and dynamic developments

Slow evolving storyline

I've read most of John Kellerman's books but this was not among my favorites. The story seemed to drag a lot, to the point where I almost stopped listeniing. However, I finished listening and saw how it all came together with a satisying conclusion. His characters were interesting, sometimes colrful, and well - developed

Best Kellerman Yet

Kellerman seems to get better with each novel. In "The Conspiracy Club" he finally gets past the point-of-view switching which so badly mars his otherwise terrific Delaware-Sturgis mysteries. The story stays with Jeremy Carrier, an excellent character: a good person who doesn't know he's good. Carrier's painful emergence from emotional numbness (following a traumatic loss) is convincingly portrayed and, even better, his coming back to life is intertwined with his deepening involvement in an ingeniously plotted double mystery.

Not his best

Overall story was well written. However, it was difficult to continue to listen the the monotone voice of the narrator.

Good story - a little predictable

Any additional comments?

A good story, but I swear I have read at least 2 other books with very similar plots and characters. Therefore many elements were very predictable. Still love Kellerman though!
