Time Bomb

An Alex Delaware Novel

De: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrado por: Alexander Adams

Edgar Award winner Jonathan Kellerman once more explores the corruption of California's golden coast and produces a novel of complex characterizations and nonstop suspense. By the time psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware reached the school the damage was done: A sniper had opened fire on a crowded playground, but was gunned down before any children were hurt. While the TV news crews feasted on the scene an Alex began his therapy sessions with the traumatized children, he couldn't escape the image of a slight teenager clutching an oversized rifle. What was the identity behind the name and face: a would-be assassin, or just another victim beneath an indifferent California sky?

Intrigued by a request from the sniper's father to conduct a "psychological autopsy" of his child, Alex begins to uncover a strange pattern of innocence, neglect, and loss. Then suddenly it is more than a pattern -- it is a trail of blood. In the dead sniper's past was a dark and vicious plot. And in Alex Delaware's future is the stuff of grown-up nightmares: the face of real human evil.

Another great Alex Delaware story.

Enjoyable, as expected. Milo and Alex are 2 of my favorite crime drama characters. The reader did a great job.

Action

still a big fan of the author. still waiting for more medical facts into the story line like his first 3 books. MILO gives a great ending to the story.

Kazaam

Narrator was okay, Rubenstein is much better. I got lost in a couple of places but overall the story was excellent. was not prepared for the ending

Classic Kellerman

This is classic Kellerman. The language is a bit dated, as expected for a book written in the 1980s, but the story is phenomenal with just the right amount of plot twists. The narrator's style does take some getting used to, but I promise if you give it some time, it'll grow on you. His delivery sounds a bit monotone at first, but by the end of chapter one, I couldn't imagine listening to anyone else read it.

Exciting story

Loved the book kept me engaged throughout Characters and plot was very interesting! Enjoyed very much
