Psychologist Alex Delaware and LAPD detective Milo Sturgis are drawn into a disturbing investigation when a young couple is discovered murdered inside a parked car. The young man has been shot, while his girlfriend has suffered an even more brutal death.
The investigation takes an unexpected turn when Alex learns that one of the victims had been undergoing psychotherapy. As he and Milo dig deeper, they uncover connections involving therapists, troubled families, hidden relationships, and people determined to keep their secrets buried.
Alex must use his understanding of human behavior to separate genuine psychological trauma from manipulation and deception. As seemingly unrelated clues begin connecting, the case becomes increasingly dangerous and leads toward revelations that neither Alex nor Milo expected.
EugeneBookStore Summary
A dark Alex Delaware thriller that puts psychology directly at the center of a murder investigation.
Therapy combines Jonathan Kellerman’s background in psychology with the police work and character interaction that define the Alex Delaware series. Alex and Milo begin with a particularly disturbing double murder and gradually uncover a complicated network of relationships and secrets surrounding the victims.
Readers who enjoy psychological mysteries, methodical investigations, and the long-running partnership between Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis should find this an engaging installment.
Collector Notes
Therapy is Book #18 in the Alex Delaware series, following A Cold Heart and preceding Rage. This Ballantine mass-market paperback carries ISBN 9780345452603. It is a later paperback reading edition rather than a scarce first edition, so its value is primarily as an affordable series-completion copy. The substantial corner and cover wear on this particular copy places it toward the lower end of Good, but it remains suitable for resale as an inexpensive reading copy.
