Bones by Jonathan Kellerman

It all begins with an anonymous phone call, saying that there is a dead body in the marsh. Although at first ignored as some prank, the call later confirms to be true as the body of Selena Bass is found in the marsh. To make matters worse, three more bodies, in a much decomposed state, is also found implying the presence of a serial killer.

The decomposed bodies are found to be of prostitutes, so Selena Bass, a piano teacher, is surely a major deviation from the pattern. This leads to many disturbing questions, Are there more than one killers? Why was there an alert on only the last murder? And where have Vanders, Selena's employers, vanished?  The investigating team involving Moses, Milo and the psychologist Alex Delaware have to answer all these questions. The suspect is the estate caretaker of  Vanders,Huck who have a past criminal record. The story will go through many twists and turns before the criminal is caught.

This is the first book of Kellerman that I have read. The book says it is a Alex Delaware mystery but I didn't quite understand the psychological aspect of the mystery. Other than that this can be passed off as a decent thriller.
3.5 out of 5.
