Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
12 bodies, 12 states. What no one knows is that the 'Highway Killer' is also a gifted psychiatrist who lures his victims into a false sense of security with his miraculous ability to understand their darkest emotional secrets. He is their confessor, but he is also their executioner. When the killer writes to The New York Times, challenging famed forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger to heal him through an exchange of open letters on the front page, he opens his diabolical mind to the one man with the courage to cure him-or die trying...

I was really surprised how much I ended up 'liking' the killer in this book. The use of his past along with that of the person hunting him was done really well. By actually getting into the mind of a serial killer who is actually a smart, somewhat noble doctor and a natural charmer, we can see how a Bundy may have thought of himself as doing "God's Work". I do think the book moved a bit quickly in his capture; too many situations just 'happened'. I could have done without the expected love interest as well. All in all a great thriller that gives you a bit more than just gruesome deaths.

This pathetic book is one cliche after another, dressed up in a bunch of psychiatric mumbo jumbo. The plot is highly unlikeley: a psychopathic serial killer engaged in a dialog in the New York Times with another shrink, who is working with the FBI to nab the killer. Once the plot is underway, you know exactly where it is going to go. There are no surprises here. No suspense. No organic plot development -- the author, when he senses that he needs to end the novel, just plunks down a few convenient coincidences and rushes to the conclusion. The characters are cardboard, although the author tries to make you believe that he is developing them -- giving them dimension, when all he's doing is putting fancy clothes on manniquins. And of course, the serial killer is a Christian religious nut (that seems to be a favored cliche these days). And the ending is simply silly. Save your money.

One of the best books that I've read in a while! You can see why Keith Ablow is such a famous Forensic Psychiatrist. The way he depicts his main character, Dr. Jonah Wrens. can only be described as creative genious. Imagine a serial killer who possesses as much evil, as he possesses goodness. A man who is as brutally violent as he is compassionate. A man who must feel the emotional pain of others in order to satisfy a need so deep inside him.
I found myself wanting desperately to get to the climax, but at the same time, not wanting to finish the book.
I would definitely recommend this book, especially for those of you who are psychologically inclined.

The book Psychopath by Keith Ablow is a suspense novel following the life of Jonah, a psychotic psychiatrist. The book follows Jonah through his personal experiences in some of his relentless murders. There is a famous saying: "there's a fine line between genius and insanity". After reading this book, I think they go together. This suspense story takes you deep into the mind of this man. Albow's plays on your senses making you feel what the main character Jonah feeling, all the thoughts that run through his mind. It's almost unnerving, but Albow gives this new inner light in him that makes you almost sympathize with Jonah and admire his intelligence. Albow jumps from one event to the subsequent not by using flash backs, more so fast forwarding, without the "10 years later" part. Every chapter brings a new situation, another piece of the puzzle. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading another of Keith Ablow's novels.

Ablow is one of the most prolific serial killer writers on the market today. His expertise in the field of forensic psychology is meticulously expressed in his writing. Most of the characters (both the protagonists and antagonists) are case studies in and of themselves. I highly recommend Ablow for the serial killer connoisseur. You wont be disappointed!
