Summary
Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Psychologist Alex Delaware and detective Milo Sturgis struggle to make sense of a seemingly inexplicable massacre in this electrifying psychological thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense.
LAPD Lieutenant Milo Sturgis has solved a lot of murder cases. On many of them--the ones he calls "different"--he taps the brain of brilliant psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware. But neither Alex nor Milo are prepared for what they find on an early morning call to a deserted mansion in Bel Air. This one's beyond different. This is predation, premeditation, and cruelty on a whole new level.
Four people have been slaughtered and left displayed bizarrely and horrifically in a stretch limousine. Confounding the investigation, none of the victims seems to have any connection to any other, and a variety of methods have been used to dispatch them. As Alex and Milo make their way through blind alleys and mazes baited with misdirection, they encounter a crime so vicious that it stretches the definitions of evil.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Early in bestseller Kellerman's disappointing 35th whodunit featuring L.A. psychologist Alex Delaware (after 2019's The Wedding Guest), a professional cleaner who arrives at a house the morning after a big party finds a white stretch limo parked near the pool containing four corpses. All are dressed in black and drenched in blood from the waist down. In the front seat, the chauffeur has a bullet wound to the head; in the backseat, the lone female victim holds the penis of a male victim. Delaware and his LAPD buddy, Lt. Milo Sturgis, must figure out how the four are connected, along with a motive for the murders and the staging of the bodies. The eventual explanation is a letdown, and Delaware and Sturgis make a judgment error at the climax that doesn't fit with their years of experience interviewing suspects. Overdone prose is another negative ("Misfortune is the mother's milk of journalism... those who suckle the teats of tragedy are rarely forced to confront evil directly"). Those looking for a cleverer resolution of a similar macabre setup should check out P.D. James's A Taste for Death. (Feb.)
Library Journal Review
Dr. Alex Delaware gladly accompanies LAPD Lt. Milo Sturgis on his rounds to offer psychological insight, but the case now staring them in the face is particularly grisly: four people with no obvious connection have been brutally murdered and displayed like awful artworks in a stretch limo. Next in a long line of mega-best-selling Delaware novels.
