"Dr. Death"
(c) 2000

Greetings to all this month....

As always, we will find ourselves in another interesting area. This time not too far from our last....We are going to leave the top of California in San Francisco and go to the southern portion to L.A and the Hollywood Hills...Here we find the energies a bit more chaotic and with a few twists to keep your interest all along the way.

We find ourselves looking into the life of one Alex Delaware. A man who is quite talented yet simple in his life...A psychologist/detective, two very complimentary traits...well respected and well earned. He finds himself looking into the very person many seem to dread at the very thought of the name....Dr. Death.....Simply put, Eldon Mate is someone who is seen to some as an Angel if you will, while to a great many others someone who is literally taking the lives of loved ones and snuffing it out. People as a whole will do whatever they have their minds set to: whatever they seem to feel will be of the best help to them at the time depending on their life's trials and tribulations. They may sometimes even turn in a direction they never thought they would. These are the kinds of people that seem to find the kind of person Eldon Mate preys on....vulnerable and at an end.

There are many who have been touched, however indirectly by this man, but just as deeply if not more so than those who sought him out to begin with. It is these people that seem to be so sought after when a turn of events leaves many questions to be answered. It is these people to whom our Detective seek out for even the smallest of details or opinions to perhaps solve the mystery at hand..Who killed the Dr. of Death?

The best detectives are the ones who can take even the smallest bit of information and turn it into the solid foundation of the case itself to bring each end and tie it together so that it is as snug as a sailor's knot.

I found it quite interesting and one that I could not put down, yet one I could not read as quickly as I may have others for there is nothing you want to pass over or miss out on. Even to the very last pages, you will find yourself still wondering and asking questions just as Alex does himself. I wish you well reading with this one, and until next month.....You never know where you may end up or why, but there is always a reason behind if you look with your eyes closed and your mind open...
