Twelve-year-old Billy Straight - precocious, heartbreakingly perceptive, relentlessly moral - has fled the chaos and abuse of his life at home and is fighting to survive on L.A.'s meanest streets. All alone, Billy has fashioned a precarious existence for himself, using principled tricks to nourish his body and his mind. Late one night he watches from his hiding place as a man viciously butchers a woman. Billy becomes the center of terrifying attention - from the media, from violent bounty hunters, and from the murderer himself.

In Jonathan Kellerman's gripping novels, the city of Los Angeles is as much a living, breathing character as the heroes and villains who roam its labyrinthine streets. Sunny on the surface but shadowy beneath, this world of privilege and pleasure has a dark core and a dangerous edge. In True Detectives, Kellerman skillfully brings his renowned gifts for breathless suspense and sharp psychological insight to a tale that resonates on every level and satisfies at every turn.

Brilliant, beautiful, and stunningly effective, psychologist Dr. Grace Blades has a special gift for treating troubled souls and healing tormented psyches - perhaps because she bears her own invisible scars. Only five years old when she witnessed her parents die in a bloody murder-suicide, Grace took refuge in her towering intellect and found comfort in the loving couple who adopted her. But as an adult, Grace's accomplished professional life vies with a covert, high-risk dark side, played out harrowingly. And when Grace's two worlds shockingly converge, her past returns with a vengeance.

Eccentric, reclusive Walter Rennert lies cold at the bottom of his stairs. At first glance the scene looks straightforward: a once-respected psychology professor done in by booze and a bad heart. But his daughter, Tatiana, insists that her father has been murdered, and she persuades Clay Edison to take a closer look at the grim facts of Rennert's life. What emerges is a history of scandal and violence and an experiment gone horribly wrong that ended in the brutal murder of a coed.

Detective Jacob Lev wakes one morning, dazed and confused: He seems to have picked up a beautiful woman in a bar the night before, but he can't remember anything about the encounter, and before he knows it, she has gone. But this mystery pales in comparison to the one he's about to be called on to solve. Newly reassigned to a Special Projects squad he didn't even know existed, he's sent to a murder scene far up in the hills of Hollywood Division.

Publisher's Summary

Dr. Woodrow Moreland, a respected scientist, has invited Alex Delaware, psychologist/detective, to his home on a tiny Pacific island to help him organize his papers for publication. It's a light workload, leaving plenty of time for Alex and his girlfriend, Robin, to relax.

Quickly, however, secretive houseguests and unexplained visitors dim the pleasures of deep blue water and white sands. Alex can't help wondering why Dr. Moreland really invited him to the island. When he probes, Alex discovers a sour and unwelcome truth. But truth it is, and its discovery comes just in time to save Alex and Robin from the violence that threatens them.

Ho Hum

Narrators can make or break a good book and what we consider good narration is certainly a matter of choice. I advise you to listen to the sample first before spending your credits. If I took my own advice, I'd still have a credit to spend! While he does a good job switching between characters, I find the overall narration flat and more like listening to a weather report. The story is interesting but it's been pure torture listening to this narrator. I'm halfway through the story and I can't listen to one more word. Nails dragging across a chalk board - you know?

Another Good One!

Kellerman is always a good read - and the narrator is just terrific. I could listen to him forever. Kellerman's books always have such interesting characters and I love his girlfriend Robin. He writes with a great sense of humor too!

Another Great Alex Delaware Novel<br />

I enjoyed it. It made the drive much better. I did miss Milo. His cameo appearance over the phone was not enough!

Most Boring in the Series

What disappointed you about The Web?

The first 60% of the book was pointless, could have covered it all in a single, short chapter, finally picked up at the end, but by that time, I didn't care much

What was most disappointing about Jonathan Kellerman’s story?

Dull as a plumbing convention, it was well read though. If you skip any in the series, this is the one

Kept my interest but not his best

HUGE fan of the Alex Delaware series. This one focuses on Alex and Robin - on a faraway island and it starts out OK but really became much too unbelievable as it proceeded. Held my interest and I didn't put it on double speed but did think about it. I was just trying to fill in the books from this series I hadn't read/listened to you. So I can check off "The Web" now :)

I always come home to Alex

Would you listen to The Web again? Why?

I do not typically re-listen to audiobooks. The predictability isn't fun.

Have you listened to any of Alexander Adams’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

absolutely! Every time I finish another author's books, I immediately "wash it off" with a Delaware novel. Mr. Adam's voice is so familiar and comforting. I also love how he makes every character different.

Any additional comments?

Jonathan Kellerman never disappoints.

Seriously?

What would have made The Web better?

A rewrite and more engaging story. I have been enjoying the Alex Delaware series and haven't gotten bored. This one was boring and wacky (not in a good way).

Has The Web turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

Which scene was your favorite?

None

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Web?

This book just didn't cut it for me. The beautiful setting was the only thing worth taking from the book for me. This was off the mark from the other books, but still continuing with the series.

Least favorite AD book.

I have read (listened to) many books in this series and I was dissappointed with this one. It's definitely my least favorite of the series.

Excellent Listen

If you could sum up The Web in three words, what would they be?

Tropical quirkly thiller

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dr. Bill - full of surprises

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

This narrator is not as good as John Rubenstein

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes
