400 pages of dullness and an unbelievably boring premise, and then the reader is suddenly thrown into an horrif It took me two months to get through this, as I couldn't read more than two pages at a time without getting bored to tears. But like every single other Alex Delaware mystery, it ends with him randomly figuring out who the bad guy is, knowing exactly where to find him, and then the bad guy just confesses every single detail of his crimes. Finally, after 400 pages, it started to get good. It took me two months to get through this, as I couldn't read more than two pages at a time without getting bored to tears. I will definitely read the next one in this series.more You just have to go through the extra stuff to get to the good. The story is excellent and it kept me captivated. Like I said this book suffers from the problems I have noticed with the early books from this series. By the time we get to the actual mystery the reader wades through too much set up.
Too much time to get to the point and too much descriptive detail on rooms, clothes, or characters. I have noticed that is the problem with the early Alex Delaware novels. The problem with this book is the length and the time to get to the meat of the story. It is a product of its time even though there is still work to do in this area. This was written over thirty years ago and it does show its age with the reason. The story and the mystery intrigued me for all of it as we had plenty of suspects and the reader wasn't sure of why and what happened throughout.

Exploring mental diseases is one thing that this series does well. I liked the look into agoraphobia and the problems it leads to for the person who suffers from it as well as their loved ones. I liked this book even though it did have problems. Next thing you know the mother goes missing and Alex and Milo have been dragged into a case. Nine years later she calls Alex because her mother suffers from agoraphobia. In this one, Melissa was a patient of Alex's when she was a child. Exploring mental dise This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.
