Book Reviews of Blood Test (Alex Delaware)
Book Review: 'Next time, let's kill all the lawyers'
Summary: 4 Stars
Shakespeare's suggestion regarding the legal profession doesn't fare much better under the early scrutiny of Jonathan Kellerman. He paints the 'good' lawyers as shallow, amoral, money chasing, well dressed bottom dwellers and the bad lawyers . . . . well, far worse.
Here a younger Alex Delaware is asked to address the parents of a 5 year old cancer sufferer whom they are trying to remove from medical care stating that they can treat the child better on their own. Of course the idiocy of the parents lets us know within a chapter that there is a horrid evil lurking close to the surface and indeed there is. Dr. delaware must address murder, sex, evil lawyers and misleading police professionals. But his love for Robyn, who gratefully does not make an appearance here (sorry folks; tired of the super hero having the normal relationship in the face of unspeakable evil) remains unabated, and his closest friend Detective Milo Sturgis, remain anchors for what he must face.
A few sketchy scenes but enough to know that Kellerman and Delaware were going to be moving forces for the next two decades. There is a scene in the last third where Dr. D sneaks into an abandoned house that will leave you on the edge of your seat. And there are a number of twists I never saw coming. Worth the read. 4 stars. Larry Scantlebury
