Rating:  Summary: Excellent Read Review: This books is a great read, it is a wonderful mistery novel that keeps you reading. I have not yet read any Kellerman book that I did not feel this way about.
Rating:  Summary: Silly Premise Review: This is one of Kellerman's poorest books. When you FINALLY get to what is going on, it is ridiculous. Don't waste your time on this.
Rating:  Summary: FACE TO FACE Review: This story is set in 1989, eleven years after Dr. Delaware treats 7-year-old Melissa Dickinson, a child living a nightmare. Bright and highly resourceful, Melissa calls Dr. Delaware describing her seemingly irrational fears. Her biggest fear is that of her mother's safety. In 1969, Melissa's mother, then a young model was attacked by a man who threw acid in her face, thus disfiguring her.Dr. Delaware once again comes into contact with Melissa, by now grown and entering college. He works with her in uncovering the identity and motives of not only her mother's attacker, but those involved with the man. This is truly a taut, gripping story. The characters are richly drawn so that one gets a pyschological as well as a physical impression of them. The mysteries neatly overlap; there is no extraneous material here. To make a good thing even better, Robin is more or less ushered out the door. I hoped that she would be because I never really cared for her in the first place. Her main role in this book was to leave readers with the question of whether or not she and Dr. Delaware reconnect.

Rating:  Summary: A GREAT psychological thriller!! Review: This was the second of many book I have read by Jonathan Kellerman, and is
the best to date. Kellerman shows his expertise in psychology and suspense in this
page turner. I could not put this book down, and lost a lot of sleep trying to finish
it. You'll learn more about a phobic personality than
you ever thought possible, and
you'll have a great time doing it. Tou may have your
own list of suspects by the end,
but you'll never figure this ending out!!

Rating:  Summary: Bizarre Review: Very different. It was not one of the most memorable thiller's I read. The characters, however, were well written. I would have never thought the ending would have ended the way it did. Some chapters were very slow, then picked up. Twisted plot, but kept me going.
