Devil's Waltz

An Alex Delaware Novel

By: Jonathan Kellerman

Narrated by: Alexander Adams

The doctors call it Munchausen by proxy, the terrifying disease that causes parents to induce illness in their own children. Now, in his most frightening case, Dr. Alex Delaware may have to prove that a child's own mother or father is making her sick.

Twenty-one-month-old Cassie Jones is bright, energetic, the picture of health. Yet her parents rush her to the emergency room night after night with medical symptoms no doctor can explain. Cassie's parents seem sympathetic and deeply concerned. Her favorite nurse is a model of devotion. Yet when child psychologist Alex Delaware is called in to investigate, instinct tells him that one of them may be a monster.

Then a physician at the hospital is brutally murdered. A shadowy death is revealed. And Alex and his friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis have only hours to uncover the link between these shocking events and the fate of an innocent child.

Critic reviews

“I double dare you to start reading Devil’s Waltz and to put it down.”—Larry King

“A tension-packed page-turner.”—Cosmopolitan

Kept interest right to the end

Good story line and kept me guessing as to how all the writer would tie things together and come to the end -a good ending. Very enjoyable listening. Thanks.

Great Story

Basically I'm new to books. read so much for my job I don't like to read. I'm learning how to listen. loved the story. but not sure if I like Robin. I don't trust that she will stay.

Another great Delaware title.

And another great narration. I love the series and the performance. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Munchausen syndrome

great read and performance. Mr.kellerman seems to be getting his groove back with the writing. more medical factoids and plot twists. JUSTICE IS SERVED

Great series.
