Summary: The best Jonathan Kellerman book yet, don't miss
Comment: I have read all of J. Kellerman's books, but was getting a little bored with the same characters, even though they were very likable. In Billy Straight, I loved the new characters, especially Petra Connors, the homicide policewoman. I identified with her character and loved the partnership she had, I hope she is back in his next book. Also loved how a little bit of romance was included along with other great side characters. I loved Billy, and disagree with other reviewers, that he was to good to be true. In alot of cases, kids that come from alcoholic backgrounds, are very much the adult and very intelligent, because they have to grow up sooner than most. I even wrote Mr. Kellerman telling him how much I enjoyed this book, and hope this is a start of a new series, and still has cameos with Alex Delaware. The story itself was very suspenful and I loved the subject matter. Read like something right out of the news. Mr. Kellerman, please bring these characters back, its the start of a good thing!

Summary: Rivetting!!!
Comment: I don't usually read this genre but I'm so glad that I did. An abused 12 year old,Billy Straight runs away from his unable to cope mother and her vile,abusive,redneck bikie boyfriend and goes to Hollywood where he lives in a park .He's an intelligent,well read little boy who loathes living in poverty and dirt and,unfortunately,witnesses a murder and remembers the licence number of the murderers car. The author gives a very vivid description of low-life people who live on the edge 0f society and who scramble to keep alive by scavenging,stealing and violence. This would make a great thriller movie and I can even visualise the boy actor in the starring role--Joel Hayley Osmond who starred in "The Sixth Sense".Needless to say,I'll be hunting out other books by Jonathon Kellerman.

Summary: Super Thriller by a Superb Writer
Comment: Spunky twelve-year-old Billy Straight is a runaway managing to survive in L.A.'s Griffith Park. Billy is a remarkable boy who ran away from an abusive home life in a mobile home. He spends his time sneaking into libraries to read and planning and plotting how he'll get an education and get along in the world. Then he unexpectedly witnesses a brutal murder. He decides not to reveal what he has seen for fear he will be returned to the trailer with his alcoholic mother and her brutal boyfriend.
Los Angeles homicide detective Petra Connor is the lead detective on what turns out to be a high profile murder case. The victim, Lisa Lee Ramsey, is the gorgeous ex-wife of a prominent TV actor, Cart Ramsey, who stars in the syndicated TV detective show "The Adjuster." The investigation takes a lot of delving behind the scenes of the precarious, competitive, sometimes sleazy world of television and the police administration is terrified of a media circus.
Petra is told to solve the killing quietly and quickly, but while she is trying to do just that Billy is being pursued by a pair of wackos in the park who scare him into hiding. Then a media slip reveals there has been a witness to the murder and he is in deep trouble.
BILLY STRAIGHT, a solid mystery adventure loaded with suspense and good, old fashioned police work. It's a super way to while away a quiet evening by the fire.
