Title: The Kellermans need a sabbatical!
Review: The plot was comparable to Kellerman's other plots - interesting and attention grabbing. However, many of the touches that breathe life into Alex, Robin, Spike and Milo were gone. From page one, Alex was on the case, full time. How'd that happen? Usually Milo has to coax him in. And the police department was terribly tolerant of Alex from Jump Street. Also missed anything about Milo's life, and Robin, who's usually a little freaked out by Alex's activities was the perfect little hausfrau cooking meals and orering pizza. Even Spike was one dimensional. Kellerman got too wrapped up in the plot, ignoring the very qualities that make his books so readable. After reading his wife's Moon Music, can only conclude they're working WAY too hard and need some time away from the old word processors. The plot of this book may have benefitted from protagonists other than Alex and Milo. New heroes, maybe?
