"If something isn't aesthetically pleasing or interesting, doesn't require skills I do not have, and makes a stupid point stupidly, I don't appreciate it as art. That doesn't make me a philistine. It makes me a non-rube."

The One with Bones

119. Title & Author: Bones (An Alex Delaware Novel) by Jonathan Kellerman (438 pages)*
Genre: Fiction--Crime
Completed: 23 October 2009

Summary & Review:
Psychologist Alex Delaware tags along with his cop friend Milo and rookie detective Moses Reed as they try to uncover the mystery behind the bodies found in an LA-area wildlife preserve. All the victims showed signs of strangulation and were bizarrely missing their right hands. As they track down a man who seems to be the likely suspect, they realize they have been lead astray by the real killers.

In my review of Obsession (#48), the other Jonathan Kellerman on this list so far, I remarked how I really liked the dialouge the author wrote and that it was my favorite part of the novel. Unfortunately, this book was missing those touches that I enjoyed in Obsession and I subsequently found little about this book that was really noteworthy.

Rating: 6.0
