Haven't read a Jonathan Kellerman before. Not a fan of L.A. as a setting and not of cops or police procedurals either, but this one is done pretty well!

I'm really surprised how good this one is turning out to be. The writing I'm especially enjoying. Lean, but not spare. Playful, yet informative. Good pacing and banter. Very nice.

Katie Huggins You can read them as standalones, I presume? I’ll have to check this series out. Even though I am not a fan of the police in the USA, I still like a good detective like book every once in awhile. And I enjoy an LA setting sometimes as long as the characters aren’t too superficial and fake.

Yes, it's perfectly readable but there are some character interactions you won't know the backstory of, or who they are exactly, but you get the gist very quickly.

This is about someone preying on people who have moved to LA to become movie stars, but who, unfortunately are not the sharpest tool in the shed, and the only thing they really have going for them is they're good looking. They are pretty superficial, but that's part of what makes them targets.

I'm enjoying the duo of a psychiatrist and a cop. They work well together as a team, I think. So far, I'd say this will be a 4 star.

btw: I just posed my review of that novel about Germany today you said you might be interested in. 😀
