Obsession - Jonathan Kellerman

Why do I continue to read Jonathan Kellerman books? Why, why why? I think Alex Delaware was one of the first mystery characters but that doesn't mean I have to keep reading about him does it? Alex Delaware and his big buddy Milo Sturgis look into a mystery brought to them by teenager Tanya Bigelow who Delaware treated as a child for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Her aunt Patty/adopted mother left a cryptic message before she died and Tanya wants to know what it was about.

On the Four Star Scale

Sap Factor ( ) - A young girl loses the only person she has in the world and you feel nothing. One of the reasons I think this book is pointless.

Naughty Bits (**) - I'm pretty sure there was Alex and girlfriend loving but it can be skipped

Readability (***) - 368 pages. Fast read.

Final notes - Sometimes I just hate when writers get famous. Their books come out on the New York Sellers Best List but the truth is the author doesn't have to put any work in it. If you just want something to read this book goes fast but the mystery is weak and the way it is solved is totally unbelievable. The quality is mediocre. Save your time. Read something else.
