Open Season by Jonathan Kellerman

 

The adventures of the crime fighting duo, Dr. Alex Delaware and L.A. Detective Milo Sturgis continue in Open Season.

The body of a young starlet is dumped at an emergency room entrance of a decaying hospital in a seedy area of L.A.  She has been drugged and inspection of her social media leads the crime fighters to a likely suspect known for his misogyny and reputation for date rape.  Before the police can question him, he is shot to death with a 308 rifle.  The rifle used in this killing is quickly tied to other crimes and the M.O. is found to be consistent with several other murders around the country.  Alex goes to work developing a psychological profile while Milo turns his team loose on the now expanding suspect pool.  They think the killer is avenging the victims of men without boundaries but finding and capturing this vigilante takes all the skills Alex and Milo can muster.

Open Season is Kellerman’s fortieth Delaware/ Sturgis novel.  I have read them all and never tire of the formula… it’s all about the chase.  Kellerman is a master of engaging the reader and not letting go until the end.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advance look.
