Great suspense. Holds your attention from beginning to end
I’m a big fan of Jonathan Kellerman. Love all his books including this one
A well written story.
Typical Kellerman…messes with your mind and makes you love it!
Love anything J. Kellerman writes!
I love Jonathan Kellerman’s books. He employs a lot of psychology in his stories, and his characters are so well-drawn that I feel I know them. Devil’s Waltz deals with a heartbreaking situation of a child who is the victim of Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy. You’ll be kept guessing who the culprit is and how he or she is managing to harm the …
This is an old book and I could easily predict what the villains had since that era there has been a lot of publicity on the Syndrome.
Great
One of my favorite authors!
Somehow I think Kellerman has written more than one book about Munchausen’ by proxy. One is enough.
What can I say? I love author Jonathan Kellerman and character Alex Delaware! Always interesting, great characters, and interesting visit to various psyches.
Great story
Plot got rather complicated at the end.
The pace of this book is comfortable. Plenty of suspense; a very enjoyable read, but one that won’t keep you up reading until dawn.
Jonathan Kellerman delivers another great page turner with this Alex Delaware novel. Mystery and intrigue. Team work with his pal Milo and you always know you have a good whodunnit on your hands.
Because the victim was a tiny innocent, the reader’s desire to capture and stop the torture was piqued more than usual. The plot was rife with myriad red herrings, and the final resolution and reasoning was more satisfying than usual. I had trouble putting the iPad down!
It was great. Kept me wondering who the bad guy/gal was until the very end.
Alex Cross does it again
well-written
Good read. I enjoyed the medical mystery backstory.
