Relation Concering Books When the Bough Breaks (Alex Delaware #1)

In the first Alex Delaware novel, Dr. Morton Handler practiced a strange brand of psychiatry. Among his specialties were fraud, extortion, and sexual manipulation. Handler paid for his sins when he was brutally murdered in his luxurious Pacific Palisades apartment. The police have no leads, but they do have one possible witness: seven-year-old Melody Quinn. It's psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware's job to try to unlock the terrible secret buried in Melody's memory. But as the sinister shadows in the girl's mind begin to take shape, Alex discovers that the mystery touches a shocking incident in his own past. This connection is only the beginning, a single link in a forty-year-old conspiracy. And behind it lies an unspeakable evil that Alex Delaware must expose before it claims another innocent victim: Melody Quinn.

Humanism is so important in

I really enjoy this mystery series. Both the author and the main protagonist are child psychologists, and so the books have many characters that are children, and I love reading books about kids. This is the first book in the Alex Delaware series.

I had mixed feelings about this book. Parts of it were entertaining, but other parts seemed pretty far-fetched. I wanted to like it, since there are so many in the series, and since this is only the first, I'll read more to decide.I think the most far-fetched part is that a psychologist, who was traumatized finding a dead body in his office, could suddenly become a policeman with skills in fighting and handling the bad guys so well. It also seems like he did some things that were pretty illegal
