Review: Jonathan Kellerman - Rage - Alex Delaware #19

Review: Jonathan Kellerman : Rage: Alex Delware #19. About this book: From GoodReads Troy Turner and Rand Duchay were barely teenagers when they kidnapped and murdered a younger child. Troy, a remorseless sociopath, died violently behind bars. But the hulking, slow-witted Rand managed to survive his stretch. Now, at age twenty-one, he’s emerged a haunted, rootless young man with a pressing need: to talk–once again–with psychologist Alex Delaware. But the young killer comes to a brutal end, that conversation never takes place. Has karma caught up with Rand? Or has someone waited for eight patient years to dine on ice-cold revenge? Both seem strong possibilities to Sturgis, but Delaware’s suspicions run deeper . . . and darker.

Buried revelations so horrendous, and so damning, they’re worth killing for. As Delaware and Sturgis retrace their steps...

My Journey

It's been a while for me. Life has changed drastically since I first began my journey. 4 years ago I had a baby boy. Born at 23 weeks. Now he is running around as healthy as he can be. The only problem we have is sickle cell anemia and possible autism. Then..... And now..... Could you imagine trying to write anything during those years. 😫 During that time I became a wife, had some medical issues to handle, and now a caregiver for my grandmother. I am still working on my first manuscript. This year is the year I WILL FINISH. I have a collection of thriller short stories that I would like to share. Moments to Remember : A collection of short stories of the memories that are unforgettable. This year will be different. Signing off, Ms. Tiptress
