Silent Partner

An Alex Delaware Novel

By: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrated by: Alexander Adams

The bestselling author of When The Bough Breaks, Blood Test, and Over The Edge delivers the most stunning novel yet and featuring psychologist-detective Dr. Alex Delaware. At a party for a controversial Los Angeles sex therapist, Alex encounters a face from his own past--Sharon Ransom, an exquisite, alluring lover who left him abruptly more than a decade earlier. Sharon now hints that he desperately needs help, but Alex evades her. The next day she is dead, an apparent suicide. Driven by guilt and sadness, Alex plunges into the maze of Sharon's life--a journey that will take him through the pleasure palaces of California's ultra-rich, into the dark closets of a family's disturbing past, and finally into the alleyways of the mind, where childhood terrors still hold sway.

Also available on BDD Audio Cassette.

Critic reviews

"A complex and haunting story of tangled personalities, deeply buried family secrets, and of violence lying thinly under the surface ... Hits the reader right between the eyes." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review

Disappointing..not worth the credit.

Way too convoluted and choppy. Robin is whiney. Not enough Milo. Not worth the credit.

Most disappointing

Always loved Alex Delaware novels.
This one was terrible. It must have been at the very beginning of the series. Alex’s relationship with girlfriend, which runs through all the other novels adds a lot to those. The relationship takes so much away from this book. They don’t get along and it’s is just a simple but very negative space filling portion of the story. Adds nothing to the book.
Also not a narrator I recognized from any other reading, let alone a Kellerman novel, and I have over 700 books in my library. But, I will not buy a book that uses this narrator. Even if you LOVE the Delaware series, I’d save your money. I am asking for mine back.
I just didn’t have the time to keep calling Audible sooner, their computer has been down and couldn’t get through. First time in 7 years that has happened. Audible is great, just frustrating getting stuck with a poor book. Hope this gets you to think twice before purchasing Silent Partner by Kellermen.

Good story, but....

Good story but too many gratuitous graphic female anatomy references. Leave out unnecessary sexual language and get on with it! I am not a prude but enough is enough. There is such a thing as common decency.

As for the narrator... sounds older that Alex is perceived, and leaves many overly long pauses, often in mid sentence, which leads one to believe It is the end of a chapter. Totally wrong for Davenport. Won’t purchase further books narrated by him.

I did not finish book. Too many distracting factors. Wasn't THAT Interesting.

Another great book

I love the characters can't wait to download the next one in the series Today
