I got Time Bomb for Christmas and I could not put it down, it was so good, I would stay up late, not wanting to stop. Jonathan Kellerman is the master of psyschological thrillers. Here is a little about the story.
When Alex Delaware gets a call from his friend, LAPD homide detective, Milo Sturgis, he is asked to come down to a school which as been targeted by a sniper, and help the kids. When he gets there, he finds that the details are sketchy and all that he learns is that the sniper has been killed without hurting anyone. Milo tells him that the sniper was a girl, nonviolent, and had mental difficulties. Now, Alex has to figure out, was the sniper a killer, or just another victim?

Time Bomb's plot is very well assembled, all the facts fall together amazingly. Nothing from the sleeve, pure logic. The story evolves thrillingly and I found myself reading at 4am. Delaware is so real, so ordinary, you get to know him well and feel with him. Kellerman's detailed descriptive adds to the atmosphere and gives a feeling of being standing right there. What I haven't been able to do is give a face to Milo Sturgis, though he is a wonderful character. This is the 5th Kellerman book I read, and definitely look forward to reading the rest.
