“Open Season” is the 40th installment in Jonathan Kellerman’s acclaimed Alex Delaware series, and the audiobook version delivers a compelling experience that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish.

The victims are found murdered under mysterious circumstances, with no apparent connection between them. As Delaware and Sturgis delve deeper, they uncover a complex web of motives and suspects, leading to a thrilling and unexpected conclusion.

Winter seams to be the season of thrillers, as many of my favorite authors released books in the last couple of months. The Alex Delaware novels are in my top ten. And I can’t imagine anyone but John Rubinstein doing the narration. He’s one of the reason I love the books as much as I do. The combination of Kellerman’s engaging writing and Rubinstein’s skilled narration makes this audiobook a must-listen for fans of psychological thrillers.
