Summary: Good detective story - but too much technical shrink stuff
Comment: This is the third in Jonathan Kellerman's series of detective novels featuring psychologist Alex Delaware. So far, this has been a great series, and this book is no exception. I just wish that Mr. Kellerman hadn't gone into so much detail about the psychological information he presents in his book - that put me to sleep REAL fast.
This story's been done before - but never quite in this way. The plot was totally believable, although the character of Souza the lawyer wasn't - he seemed to be too pompous to be true. But Delaware does ring very true, as does his policeman buddy, Milo Sturgis.
I know that a new Alex Delaware novel has just come out - I look forward to reading it, but I prefer to read series in order, so I don't miss anything. I just hope that Kellerman de-emphasizes the research in the rest of his books. I grant that it's important, but he should know when enough is enough.

Summary: One Of His Best
Comment: I haven't read all of Jonathan Kellerman's books and usually lose interest three quarters of the way through, but I found Over The Edge great right through the perfect ending. The main characters come across as very believeable, although the secondary cops and bad guys seemed stereotpyed. I found myself fitting into Alex Delaware's thought patterns with no trouble and I managed to hang on through all the plot twists without getting lost or bored. I think the only parts I skipped were his long descriptions of people and places. My one real annoyance with the book was that the reader didn't get to know Jamey better, because I would have liked to.

Summary: Ok but not the best from Kellerman
Comment: I have been reading all of the Alex Deleware books in order and actually had a hard time finding this one. The story intself will keep you interested. There is A LOT of technical jargon and big words used when talking about different types of drugs. If you can get past all that and get the main point it is a nice little book. Not one of his best but he is still better then most authors.
