Story
In Jonathan Kellerman's gripping novels, the city of Los Angeles is as much a living, breathing character as the heroes and villains who roam its labyrinthine streets. Sunny on the surface but shadowy beneath, this world of privilege and pleasure has a dark core and a dangerous edge. In True Detectives, Kellerman skillfully brings his renowned gifts for breathless suspense and sharp psychological insight to a tale that resonates on every level and satisfies at every turn.

Alex Delaware is summoned to a trendy gallery where a promising young artist has been brutally garroted on the night of her first major showing. There is no obvious motive, and the careful staging of the murder scene immediately suggests to Alex not an impulsive crime of passion, but the meticulous and taunting modus operandi of a serial killer. As more killings are discovered, unraveling the puzzle assumes a new importance - stopping a vicious psychopath who's made cold-blooded murder his chosen art form.

Story
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.

Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors - and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead - with the suitcase and painting both pointing them toward one man.

Publisher's Summary
Lifeless bodies sprawl in a dance-club parking lot after a brutal L.A. drive-by. Of the four seemingly random victims, one stands out: a girl with pink shoes who cannot be identified, and who, days later, remains a Jane Doe. With zero leads and no apparent motive, it's another case destined for the cold file, until Petra decides to follow her instincts and descends into a world of traveling grifters and bloodthirsty killers, pursuing a possible eyewitness whose life is in mortal danger.
Finding her elusive quarry alive isn't all Petra has on her plate: departmental politics threatens to sabotage her case, and her personal life isn't doing much better. If all that wasn't enough, Isaac Gomez, a whiz-kid grad student researching homicide statistics at the station house, is convinced he's stumbled upon a bizarre connection between several unsolved murders. The victims had nothing in common, yet each died by the same method, on the same date, a date that's rapidly approaching again. And that leaves Petra with little time to unravel the twisted logic of a cunning predator who's evaded detection for years, and whose terrible hour is once more at hand.

Vintage Kellerman
Another great Kellerman novel--fascinating plot, excellent character development, a psychological masterpiece. Although I thought I would, I didn't even miss Alex Delaware, who was mentioned only in passing once or twice but never actually appeared in this novel.
Hopefully, we will see more of Petra Conner, Eric Stoll and, yes, Isaac Gomez! They are as captivating a team as Milo Sturgis and Alex Delaware.

reader ruins it
I love mysteries, and am not a very hard critic, But the reader of this novel brings this story down. She reads every line as if we are at a point of dramatic alarm -- this gets old by the end of the first 2 minutes and accentuates how much filler this story has.

Petra is Great
Introduced in the book Billy Straight; and a key character in the book A Cold Heart Petra Connor takes on the case of a drive by shooting in the Paradiso theater parking lot. She is also at odds with her captain and her main squeeze Eric Stahl is away on an investigation in the middle east. In fact her only partner is Isaac Gomez; the son of Salvadoran refugees who is a math genius prodigy. Issac having finished med school at the age of 18 he's now earning a PHD in statistics. Petra has been given the role of babysitting him by Captain Stallcup, her nemesis within the department. Burdened by the lack of progress on the shootings at the Paradiso the last thing Petra needs is to be charged with the responsibility of keeping tract of "brain boy." Then Isaac comes to her with a statistical anomaly far too unusual to be accidental. Knowing that the young genius has political connections she stifles her urge to ignore the kid and begins an investigation. Working on the dual cases with the young genius she uncovers a small crimes family; a gangbanger college student; and a hundred year old series of murders that is being reenacted on the same date every year. Of course she and Isaac solve both crimes and she has a new captain at her station; her old partner Stu Bishop.
In the ten years since this book was written Petra hasn't been featured in any subsequent works, which is too bad. This is one of Kellerman's best works and perhaps the emotional distance the author has from this character is actually helpful to the story. Hopefully his fans haven't seen the last of Petra Connor in the main role or of Isaac Gomez either. This is a great mystery; highly recommended.

Please, more Petra Connor
I have to say right off that I loved the character of Petra Connor in "Billy Straight", and I'm thrilled that she's the main focus for this book. Yes, the narrator is rather annoying, and if there is a god, she won't read anymore books worth hearing. BUT, this is still a pretty good Kellerman book.
Overall, some of his other books have kept me more on the edge of my seat, but as far as mystery novels go, I'd say this one holds up. I've always liked Kellerman's style, and I would rank him above some of his peers like James Patterson (who I do like, btw). If you want a change of pace with this seldom used character, I would highly recommend this book to you. Just try to get past the narrator and concentrate on the story. It can be done. Trust me.

Get a move on! Please!
I really enjoy both the Kellermans, but what is it with drawing out a story to the point of aching at the prolonged "prose". As the book goes on, he employs more tricks and writing devices (my least favorite being the "Sunday, January 5th, 2:30 PM; Los Angeles hospital; 5th floor; the pediatrics ward" -- what does one call this little goodie --uchhh).
His good plot, subplots and great characters save the story, but I wish he would listen to the critics or get an editor with a heavier hand.

BAD Narrator, Good Book
This reader is awful! I'll make sure I don't pick another book that she narrates. Once past that, and it took awhile, the book was good. I liked the Petra Conner character.

Dull narrartor, overused plot
While I think the actor Lindsey Crouse is very good (seen her in lot's of movies and TV), she was a very dull narrator. Still that could have been overlooked if the plot were not so predictable. I'm usually not great at guessing who the villian is, but in this case I was so far ahead of the lead detective Petra O'Conner and her sidekick Issac Gomez, that they began to look like fools. Way to much on their personal lives, which was pretty routine. Lots of glaring set-ups and silly false leads. Near the end, a booklet shows up to explain everything, just like out of an old melodrama, and I just thought Kellerman was really bored writing this one! Better to re-listen to "Billy Straight"

Agreed --- the reader ruins the book!
I agree with another reviewer --- the reader of this book is AWFUL. I have no idea whether the book itself is good or not because so many passages were ruined by the reader's tone --- it was mono or it was pitched, but it was never appropriate.
I will be sure to never purchase a title read by Ms Crouse ever again.

nothing personal
Nothing personal against the narrator but she is THE most boring speaker I've ever listened to. The story might actually be pretty good but it's torture listening to this person. I still have 5 hrs. to go and I will finish it but I will definitely check to make sure I never get another audiobook with this narrator.

Difficult to assess
I found the reading so disjointed that l could not adequately follow threads of the story at all.
When l did attempt to follow the story threads l found them to be less than average.
I cannot recommend this book.
