Story4.5 out of 5 stars 897
Los Angeles is a city of sunlight, celebrity, and possibility. The L.A. often experienced by Homicide Lt. Detective Milo Sturgis and psychologist Alex Delaware, is a city of the dead. Early one morning, the two of them find themselves in a neighborhood of pretty houses, pretty cars, and pretty people. The scene they encounter is anything but. A naked young man lies dead in the street, the apparent victim of a collision with a moving van hurtling through suburbia in the darkness. But any thoughts of accidental death vanish when a blood trail leads to a nearby home.

Her name is Elise Freeman, and her chilling cry for help to whoever may be listening comes too late to save her. On a DVD found near her lifeless body, the emotionally and physically battered woman chronicles a year-and-a-half-long ordeal of monstrous abuse at the hands of three sadistic tormentors. But even more shocking than the lurid details is the revelation that the offenders, like their victim, are teachers at one of L.A.s most prestigious prep schools.

But she spends her life doing what no one else will - searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for.

A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.

An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behavior from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver...a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense unless there's something hinky going on, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed.

Hire Simon Vance to (flawlessly) interpret the loves, lives, and murders of Sweden’s cold and secret-filled world.

Publisher's Summary
From the number-one New York Times best-selling creator of the acclaimed Alex Delaware series comes a tour-de-force novel that introduces an unforgettable new heroine and illustrates perfectly why "Jonathan Kellerman has justly earned his reputation as a master of the psychological thriller" (People).
Brilliant, beautiful, and stunningly effective, psychologist Dr. Grace Blades has a special gift for treating troubled souls and healing tormented psyches - perhaps because she bears her own invisible scars. Only five years old when she witnessed her parents die in a bloody murder-suicide, Grace took refuge in her towering intellect and found comfort in the loving couple who adopted her. But as an adult, Grace's accomplished professional life vies with a covert, high-risk dark side, played out harrowingly. And when Grace's two worlds shockingly converge, her past returns with a vengeance.
The crisis begins when the busy therapist encounters a new patient whose own bleak past seems to eerily echo her own grim childhood. But there's a complication: She's met Andrew Toner before, under bizarre circumstances, and must refuse to treat him. Thinking that this is the last she'll hear of the young man, Grace is stunned to learn he was murdered soon after leaving her office, a vicious crime that leads a homicide investigation to her doorstep.
Shaken by the killing and fearing exposure of her double life, Grace sets out to probe the crime herself. But when she stumbles on the dead man's true identity, a horrifying chapter from her childhood is violently reawakened, forcing her to confront a decades-old act of evil that cries out for retribution. Suddenly stalked by vicious predators, Grace must draw upon the fierce will to survive that has powered her entire life while facing down her darkest personal demons.

Do not bother...
What would have made The Murderer's Daughter better?
I don't think anything could have saved this book, other than not writing it, in the first place.
Would you ever listen to anything by Jonathan Kellerman again?
I do not believe Jonathon Kellerman wrote this book. It was trite, shallow and made no sense to me. I could not finish this book.
How could the performance have been better?
The female leads voice was so depressing.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
no.
Any additional comments?
I am still a fan of Alex Delaware books and look forward to the next installment in the series.

Different
I love Jonathan Kellerman books. This one had potential, but it is overly complicated. Some people have 3-4 names, and with a host of other characters it is difficult to keep track. Usually I don't mind the wandering into psychology theory, but it bugged me this time, because it seemed to have nothing to do with the story. The protagonist is not likable.

What's the point of fiction?
Would you try another book from Jonathan Kellerman and/or Kathe Mazur?
Absolutely Not!
What could Jonathan Kellerman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Since this is the lowest quality fiction I have ever read I think maybe Mr. Kellerman could have improved this book by going back to his college fiction class. The point of fiction is to merge the realms of shocking realism with imagination. This book certainly has the imagination part, but so could any novel unconstrained by the bounds of reality. The hallow interactions between characters, the utter lack of realistic emotion, and an omnipotent protagonist made me feel the emotion of anger more penitently then the sum total of all the emotions captured in this whole book, or at least the gagging 6 hours of it I made it through.
Have you listened to any of Kathe Mazur’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't but I thought that her performance was the only saving grace of this audio book.
What character would you cut from The Murderer's Daughter?
Grace. Of course without a main character there isn't really a book; which is my point. With a protagonist like Ms. Grace Blades there is no need for a book.

So very very disappointing
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A plot would have helped. I got tired of hearing about her patients. The overwrought descriptions of her Aston Martin and her food read like a first time paperback lurid writer. I have read every Kellerman Alex Delaware book and loved them and this was so far removed from them as to not appear to be the same writer.
Has The Murderer's Daughter turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, but I certainly wouldn't buy another book about the same character
What didn’t you like about Kathe Mazur’s performance?
I did not have any problems with the reader
What character would you cut from The Murderer's Daughter?
This isn't the real problem with the book so I am not sure why you would include this question, but I would have cut the prolonged reviews of her patients. The development of the story was so slow
Any additional comments?
I gave up on this and am returning it. A Kellerman book, I can't believe it. I have only ever returned one book previously

did not care for this story.
I kept waiting for.the mystery and intrigue I associate with Kellerman. instead.I found this to be pointless rambling without a discernible plot. disappointing. to be fair, however, I shoukd say I did not make it past 2/3 ir pissibly 3/4 of thr story. I was beyond bored

Not what I was expecting, but I loved it!
Where does The Murderer's Daughter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've listened to hundreds, including all of Jonathan Kellerman's, and this is one of my very favorites
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Murderer's Daughter?
When the Grace and Andrew have their scheduled appointment and realize it was not the first time they've met.
Have you listened to any of Kathe Mazur’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't think so, but I thought she did a wonderful job. I plan to look for other books performed by her.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes it was. Wish I'd taken longer, but was so intrigued I finished it in two days.
Any additional comments?
Not at all like the recent Jonathan Kellerman novels. I've enjoying them all, but found this one particularly intriguing, and enjoyed the narration too.
