Books like Private Eyes

It took me two months to get through this, as I couldn't read more than two pages at a time without getting bored to tears. Finally, after 400 pages, it started to get good. But like every single other Alex Delaware mystery, it ends with him randomly figuring out who the bad guy is, knowing exactly where to find him, and then the bad guy just confesses every single detail of his crimes.400 pages of dullness and an unbelievably boring premise, and then the reader is suddenly thrown into an horrific torture scene and the crazily diabolical plans that were never even hinted at in the previous pages. What happened at the end, the reason for Gina's disappearance, could have been explored more fully and satisfactorily throughout the story. Readers who are not familiar with the ideas that this "bad guy" has, or who are not aware that these ideas existed not so long ago, are going to miss an important part in psychological and civil rights history.The one plus that differentiated this book from Kellerman's previous by-the-numbers stories is there was only a small pile of dead bodies at the end, as opposed to his usual GIANT pile of dead bodies.I think I only have it in me to try one more in this series. Kellerman has such great characters in Delaware and his friend Milo, and the plot ideas are so intricate and interesting... but the actual deliveries of these plots are working less and less for me.
