Motive
Motive: An Alex Delaware Novel | Jonathan Kellerman
6 posts | 13 read | 3 to read
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Jonathan Kellerman writes razor-sharp novels that cut to the quick. Now comes Motive, which pits psychologist Alex Delaware and homicide cop Milo Sturgis against a vicious criminal mindthe kind only Kellerman can bring to chilling life. Even having hundreds of closed cases to his credit cant keep LAPD police lieutenant Milo Sturgis from agonizing over the crimes that dont get solvedand the victims who go without justice. Victims like Katherine Hennepin, a young woman strangled and stabbed in her home. A single suspect with a solid alibi leads to a dead endone even Alex Delawares expert insight cant explain. The only thing to do is move on to the next murder casebecause theres always a next one. This time the victim is Ursula Corey: a successful, attractive divorce whos been gunned downnot a robbery but an execution, a crime that smacks of simple, savage revenge. And along with that theoretical motive come two strong contenders for the role of perp: the dead womans business partner/ex-husband and her divorce lawyer/secret lover. But just as Alex and Milo think theyre zeroing in on the most likely suspect, a bizarre new clue stirs up eerie echoes of the unsolved Hennepin murder. And the discovery of yet another crime scene bearing the same taunting signature raises the specter of a serial killer on a mission, whose twisted method is exceeded only by his manipulative and cunning madness. Praise for Motive Jonathan Kellerman has mastered the art of lean, evocative prose [in] a series that grows stronger with each volume.New York Journal of Books One of [Kellermans] best works to date . . .

A mother/businesswoman is murdered. Yes, it‘s usually the husband, but is it possible it‘s a serial killer they‘re already looking into? Keeps you on your toes!

#50 (halfway to my reading goal)

I can't say enough on how well Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis work together to solve a crime.

I started reading these books since 2004, and it is still a strong series ❤❤❤

KathyWheeler I love the audiobooks of this series too. 3y
