♥♥♥♥♥ |
Compulsively readable, but not terribly original
|
"Compulsion" is one of Kellerman's stronger recent entries in his Alex Delaware series because it doesn't suffer from the implausibilities that marred the last few. However, it does seem to conform to a template that could maybe use some shaking up: a series of murders take place and we follow Delaware and Sturgis from one clue to another, stopping off for frequent status meetings between the two along the way. It's a good template, but a template nonetheless. The only thing that saves this from becoming "ho-hum" after 22 books is that the two leads are so likable and interesting, and we love hearing them talk. I liked the Manhattan detour in "Compulsion," and feel the series would benefit from a few more surprises like it. The author is obviously a great storyteller, who fashions complicated plots with engaging characters, and Kellerman/Delaware fans will surely not be disappointed with "Compulsion."
Also recommended: [[ASIN:0312364415 A Stranger Lies There]] - this crime novel won the Malice Domestic Award for best first mystery. |
