Yee haw! Another Alex Delaware novel!

Did J.K. get tired of writing this one part way through? Did he realize how much he was reaching to come up with the premise to begin with? Did he have a contract deadline and have to write a book, however bad?
I don't know, but "Compulsion" is not worth the money as far as I am concerned. Cross-dressing, killing for no particular reason sometimes, money sometimes, who know why othertimes, Kellerman's bad guy in this one is someone we don't even get the "joy" of getting to know. He/she is just a paper villain, and we are left at the end, wondering what the heck happened to make this person the way they were. No explanations were given.
The subplot with Robin and a customer who may or may not be starting to stalk her is thin, too.
And, oh, by the way, why don't Robin and Alex get married already?? Or something. Instead of drifting in and out on each other. Commit, you two!

Milo is in this one consistently from start to finish, and since he's my favorite character in this series, that's a plus. I haven't quite known what to make of Robin in the last several books, and I've gotten pretty exasperated with the going-nowhere relationship between her and Alex. However, her small subplot in this one wraps up the book with a very nice twist. I have the same caveat that I've had about many of Kellerman's recent books: there seems to be no explanation for the killings, other than that some people are inexplicably evil. I'll be sending this to another Reading Corgis member, in Pittsburgh.
