Good, although not as good as the first book. Kept me interested and wanting to find out what happens next.

This is a great series of intrigue, bravery and coming to know one's ancestry.
I've been a fan of Kellerman's Psychologist Alexander Delaware series for many years. I haven't read a book in the series for quite a while. Truth is I got slightly bored with them. Kellerman seemed to be re-telling the same story with different villains. Reading this entry was like renewing acquaintances with an old friend: not necessarily exciting but happily satisfying. The basic plot opens with a young woman, Michaela Brady, who with a male friend, Denis Meserve, pretended to be car-jacked and abducted. Later the story changes when the whole escapade is exposed as a hoax and they are charged with a crime. The Public Defender asks Delaware to do a psychological read on the young woman and eventually the case against her is dismissed. Later her strangled body is found under an overpass in L.A. and Delaware's friend, Detective Milo Sturgis, asks if Delaware wants to get involved as a consultant. He agrees and in the process of trying to solve the case is introduced to the Dowd family, a group of wierdos who live off their inherited wealth. From that point on the focus is on Delaware and Sturgis as they work the case going down a number of blind alleys before figuring out who the real villains are. The interchange between the two is well written and interesting. In a sub-plot Alex and his ex-lover, Robin Castagna, work on putting their relationship back together. I suspect if one hasn't read any of the previous novels in the series that the strength of Delaware's connection to Sturgis, a gay L.A. Homicide Detective, and his on again, off again relationship with Robin might be difficult to grasp. Also there are a few holes in the plot that I didn't see until I finished the book. Aside from the above, I enjoyed the story and can recommend it. Not Kellerman's best work but well worth the time.

interesting but a bit dated
I've had this book a long time, I'm a fan of Anne Tyler and her silly word play, but I think I put off reading this as I don't like the title. The story is cute, Barnaby Gaitlin is the black sheep of his well to do family, he was a juvenile delinquent and is now underachieving in his mid-30s (living in somebody's basement and providing manual labor for a small operation called Rent A Back). The phrase patchwork planet refers to an ugly quilt design created by a favorite client, it only comes up once and briefly and I don't really get why it's the title of the book. Maybe Barnaby's mind operates in a somewhat patchwork-y fashion? I love his snarky "Old Baltimore" family, and identify with his older, managerial girlfriend Sophia.
very good book gave me lots of ideas.

Fun, lots of dialogue, quirky clever without being snarky. I especially like the last piece in the book, called "Final Remarks."

The beautiful photographs are the highlight in this informative introduction to polar bears.

I must read after reading the first book - just wait a few days to let the lessons from the first book sink in.
