I am not super fond of psychological thrillers. And so, having read somewhere that Jonathan Kellerman’s main character in his main series is a psychologist, Alex Delaware, I just sort of wrote the series off, assuming that these were psychological thrillers. (And you know what they say about when you assume something – although if I actually say it, I'll probably get in trouble...)

In any case, I had a chance to read an ARC of Kellerman's 36th and latest book, Serpentine, a while back, and discovered that it was instead a pretty nice police procedural, and I liked it a lot. Now Serpentine has gone on sale in the UK for £2.99. Which is a little odd - the UK habit of putting frontlist books very briefly on sale soon after publication is usually at £0.99. But this is still a really good price for a book that came out only two months ago, so I'd grab it if you want it.

And now my TBR list is 35 titles longer in one fell swoop .

Spoiler:

The electrifying new Alex Delaware thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense.

Ellie Barker never knew her mother.

When she was barely three years old, her mother was found with a bullet in her head inside a torched Cadillac, overturned on Mulholland Drive. No physical evidence, no witness and no apparent motive.

Decades on, many detectives tried and failed to get to the bottom of the case.

Desperate for answers, Ellie hires LAPD homicide lieutenant Milo Sturgis, who calls in the expertise of brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware, to investigate.

But as the duo start digging, the mystery becomes even more twisted. And they soon discover a string of dangerous threats still lurking in the present...
