Gone: An Alex Delaware Novel by Jonathan Kellerman (2006, Hardcover)

The book, "GONE" I have sold maybe a dozen or so, giving free PB. Kellerman's and Grishams to fly with it, as well as Free S&H... I feel that if I have to mortgage my house to get these books into the hands of the public, I'll not fall short in the trying.
"Milo Sturgis" acompanied the great "Det.Alex Delaware", and they were mind into mind when it came to breaking these plots that the Best Selling writer Jonathan Kellerman wrote.
I researched them so much I can see this face in my sleep, when he and his French Pied Blue French Bulldogs, first Spike) and then (Blanche) kept him company, they were his only company at times whebn he needed his Robin Castangna. A Nurse beyond being a nurse, she was his one and only, inspite of Milo Sturgis' likes and dislikes.
Another character who was finally found in this series in a Las Angeles dumpster, is not so out of control as her parents once thought that she was..catch that "Past tense??(Poor Lauren Teague~!} Popped out of her last cake~!
Well, she had embarrassed him enough, but, in this story you can feel the knowledge that Kellerman has acquired throughout the years as a child Psychologist, as he plots these stories and never hits you with the same plots or storyline twice in a row.
"GONE" [at least my next up for sale is Brand New], and waiting for you to take it with you, with a bottle of Chabernez, to warn up, and cuddle your feet under a toasty blanket, for he (Jon) has this story in hand and it is more surprising than one expected when the two very astute actors named :"Michaela Brand" and "Dylan Meserve" disappear, but, then they somehow show up again, and this happened after a great performance...what a "~!gig", eh?
But things are not so well packed and so well put together, as Michaela disappears once more, but, how about Dylan, what has he done?? Does the eye turn to him??
I would think so, but after a small while it is too damned obvious...too fricking obvious that there was more that had shaken their rich butts out of the public at the first attempt to enrich themselves.
Garrotting is a terrible way to die, as a piano wire or guitar string is quickly wrapped around one's neck and twisted until your eyes pop out and your head drops off like a ripe pumpkin in autumn.(Maybe they call it "fall" for some reason like that~!] I am about done as I can get you inside many heads in a speeding fart's second, but, this is for you, and I want you to be looking for my sale of my century when I include one od Kellerman's greatest NON-FICTION books are included into the deal, a neat "B-I-N" gift to incite you to give these a try, as I include into your pkg., Kellerman's Non-Fictional "Savage Spawn"--- his writing on the teenage mind gone arwry.
Yeah there sure is a lot of this crap going down, so, do not be drinking too much when you get these books from "tatonka", as I love to hear it when your neck starts to throb with that aeorta starts pounding in your ears.
I have said it many times, that Kellerman's novels are not like the Mary Kelly's "Frankenstein Monster", which took the 1933 era and wrapped us up into it and we were sleepless for so many nights swearing that there was a shadow in your room, or that thing you saw move in the kitchen.
No! It's not like that anymore...all of this stuff can happen anytime, anywhere to you, and to anyone...I hear about it daily, and it is NOT in a book, but in the streets.
Go slow,listen carefully and be always aware!

While this is not my favorite Alex Delaware novel, it is certainly a great read! As usual, some of the twists and turns in Kellerman's novels force you to read closely and keep track of the many, vivid, complex characters intertwined in this story. But once you start reading and get a few chapters into the storyline, you are hooked. A great book -- if you like psychological thrillers in general, or Kellerman novels more specifically, you are sure to enjoy "Gone."

In true Kellerman style, "Gone" delivers a page-turning mystery that keeps one wondering who is the real bad guy. This book also includes Milo who's one of my favorite characters in Kellerman's books. This book has it all -- greed, lust, wealth, back-stabbing, etc. and I'd recommend it to any reader of mysteries.

Jonathan Kellerman - Gone

A highly enjoyable novel from the master of suspense (IMO) Jonathan Kellerman

This is the first Kellerman novel I've read and I am impressed. A great story full of twists and turns. This book offers a fresh dose of action, mystery, and drama.

Not for the feint of heart, if this novel is said to start with a bang, it ends with an all-out explosion.

Although it starts slow, and doesn't really pull you in until the second half, once I reached the midway point, I couldn't put it down.

Final Verdict:

3/5

Borrow or Buy?: As with most books I review, I'd have to say that this book is just a borrow. I don't find myself longing to read it again, unless you're a huge murder-mystery fan, once will probably be enough for you as well.

PLEASE VOTE IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL. Thank you.

I read all of Kellerman's books. He is one of my favorite authors. "Gone" is just one of his better books to date. Dr. Alex Delaware, and Det. Sturgis are unbeatable partners. The story has a surprise ending.
