an enjoyable read - By: , 15 Aug 2001
I very much enjoyed this book, the plot centred around a cry for help from an ex-patient. This is no normal young man, but a precocious young genius who is almost a totallly unsympathetic character. He is arrested for a series of murders committed whilst in a psychotic state.

The plot unfolds in timely fashion, & if you are anything like me you will have made a couple of wrong guesses before the final denouement.

A nice change from the beautiful wide eyed little children Alex Delaware seems to find himself protecting. I was also pleased that he didn't get too involved in confronting the perpetrators, avoiding the final confrontation scene which is played out so often, with the hero taking on the villain single handed & ending the book terribly injured, but having survived (yawn).

Interesting, enjoyable & well worth reading.

A thriller that keeps you hanging over the edge to the end - By: , 12 Aug 2001
I have now read about 5 of Jonathon Kellerman's books & I am yet to be disappointed by one. Over the Edge is sharply written & completely compeling. I read it in two days straight over a rainy weekend & experienced that sense of loss & sadness when a reallly good read is finished. The book starts with an ex-patient of Alex's callling for help in the middle of the night. The boy is later found at the scene of the latest in a long line of slasher serial murders with a knife in his hand. He is now completely psychotic or is he?
