COMPULSION

How does Kellerman keep up his fan base through 22 books? By providing what they love: multiple mysteries with many twists in each title, the dynamic relationship between his characters detective Miles Sturgis and psychologist Alex Delaware, subtle humor, and witty dialogue. And he always gives something new--this time a series of murders connected by luxury cars. How does narrator John Rubinstein keep up his fan base? By providing what they love: primarily, the contrast between the gravelly, emotional voice of Sturgis and the straightforward, intellectual approach of Delaware, a blend that audio addicts have come to count on. Further, he keeps things fresh with captivating cameos of secondary characters. In this title we hear a thick-accented Russian patriarch and his exuberant grandchild.
