    About this audiobook

    In a host of consecutive bestsellers, Jonathan Kellerman has kept readers spellbound with the intense, psychologically acute adventures of Dr. Alex Delaware-and with excursions through the raw underside of L.A. and the coldest alleys of the criminal mind. Rage offers a powerful new case in point, as Delaware and LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis revisit a horrifying crime from the past that has taken on shocking and deadly new dimensions.

    Troy Turner and Rand Duchay were barely teenagers when they kidnapped and murdered a younger child. Troy, a remorseless sociopath, died violently behind bars. But the hulking, slow-witted Rand managed to survive his stretch. Now, at age twenty-one, he's emerged a haunted, rootless young man with a pressing need: to talk-once again-with psychologist Alex Delaware. But the young killer comes to a brutal end, that conversation never takes place.

    Has karma caught up with Rand? Or has someone waited for eight patient years to dine on ice-cold revenge? Both seem strong possibilities to Sturgis, but Delaware's suspicions run deeper . . . and darker. Because fear in the voice of the grownup Rand Duchay-and his eerie final words to Alex: "I'm not a bad person"-betray untold secrets. Buried revelations so horrendous, and so damning, they're worth killing for.

    As Delaware and Sturgis retrace their steps through a grisly murder case that devastated a community, they discover a chilling legacy of madness, suicide, and multiple killings left in its wake-and even uglier truths waiting to be unearthed. And the nearer they come to understanding an unspeakable crime, the more harrowingly close they get to unmasking a monster hiding in plain sight.

    Rage finds Jonathan Kellerman in phenomenal form-orchestrating a relentlessly suspenseful, devilishly unpredictable plot to a finale as stunning and thought-provoking as it is satisfying.

    • 4/5
      Fast, twisted Kellerman. A good read.
    • 5/5
      I read Jonathan Kellerman books years ago and really liked them, and then for some reason stopped. This one I got as an audio book, and find that, for me, Kellerman is perfect for listening-in-the-car. The dialogue is engaging, very interesting and clips along and there is enough of it that it simplifies trying to keep the somewhat complicated plot in mind. This story was bloody and sad, but certainly held my attention and had me rooting for the good guys and "agin" the villain. I thought the ending,which was criticized by some other readers, indeed left a lot of things up in the air, but was very satisfying. I liked Rage so much as an audio read that I went out and bought three more Alex Delaware audio books.
    • 3/5
      Very confused motivations. Good for 1 time through, but not good enough for the number of re-reads it would take to sort it all out. Very nasty premise. Lots of bad sexual abuse. Delaware is at his best when he ignores his love interests--as the mythic detective should.
    • 3/5
      Alex Delaware, foresenic psychologist to the LAPD works with Milo Sturgis, LA Detective to solve a case that began with a phone call from a former child killer. Eventually the case involves eight dead bodies, abuse of the foster care system, and a rift with Alex's new girlfriend , Allison.I don't get the ending of this story. The who dunnit was all supposition. And, the why was never fully disclosed. The resolution was weak and only brought more questions then answers. Kellerman likes to bring backcharactes but I don't think he's going to finish this story in another book. Also, the whole strain on his relationship with Allison seemed forced and out of place.
    • 4/5
      Audiobook - listening to it on commute.Typical Kellerman - good stuff if disturbing subject matter.
    • 3/5
      I really like Kellerman's books, but I was always feel he goes on and on for too long...
