Dr. Grace Blades overcame incredible odds to become the
successful psychiatrist she is today. Grace has a unique
ability to help people and she enjoys her work. She is so well
known and admired that people come from far away to
see her. Grace's speciality is helping people deal with major
trauma and grief. When a client from far away comes and is
later found dead, Grace initially has no idea why but her life
is placed in danger and she must run to protect herself.
A life full of danger has taught her well how to take care of
herself and she knows she must find the killer before he finds
her. As things become more dangerous, her ability to survive
will be tested to the max and the things she learned from
being THE MURDERER'S DAUGHTER will determine if she lives or
not.
Jonathan Kellerman has stepped away from Alex Delaware and
introduced a very strong female character in Grace. She was at
one point a student of his and knows him well but he doesn't
help her deal with her situation.
Grace is a very complex character that does bad things to
protect herself, justifying them to herself along the way.
The background story that Jonathan Kellerman writes for Grace
is fascinating and you find yourself quickly reading to get
to the next segment of her story. Even if you're a fan of Alex
Delaware you will find you enjoy Grace Blades and wonder if
there will ever be a way for her and Alex to work together.
Jonathan Kellerman has created a deeply damaged female
character with amazing inner strength that can inspire even
the most hurt soul to push forward. THE MURDERER'S DAUGHTER is
a page turner that you won't be able to put down.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling creator of the acclaimed Alex Delaware series comes a tour de force standalone novel that illustrates perfectly why “Jonathan Kellerman has justly earned his reputation as a master of the psychological thriller” (People).
A brilliant, deeply dedicated psychologist, Grace Blades has a gift for treating troubled souls and tormented psyches—perhaps because she bears her own invisible scars: Only five years old when she witnessed her parents’ deaths in a bloody murder-suicide, Grace took refuge in her fierce intellect and found comfort in the loving couple who adopted her. But even as an adult with an accomplished professional life, Grace still has a dark, secret side. When her two worlds shockingly converge, Grace’s harrowing past returns with a vengeance.
Both Grace and her newest patient are stunned when they recognize each other from a recent encounter. Haunted by his bleak past, mild-mannered Andrew Toner is desperate for Grace’s renowned therapeutic expertise and more than willing to ignore their connection. And while Grace is tempted to explore his case, which seems to eerily echo her grim early years, she refuses—a decision she regrets when a homicide detective appears on her doorstep.
An evil she thought she’d outrun has reared its head again, but Grace fears that a police inquiry will expose her double life. Launching her own personal investigation leads her to a murderously manipulative foe, one whose warped craving for power forces Grace back into the chaos and madness she’d long ago fled.
