About Faye Kellerman

Mystery author, Faye Kellerman, not only writes amazing, best-selling mysteries, but is married to famous author, Jonathan Kellerman. The pair of authors is the only married couple to have been on The New York Times best seller list at the same time. An awesome accomplishment for sure. And, to make it even better, their oldest child, Jesse Kellerman is a best-selling novelist and award winning playwright. Their youngest, a daughter, Aliza Kellerman, co-wrote Prism, a novel for young adults, with her mother. Keeping it in the family.

Faye Kellerman's early history is a very interesting one. She actually received a B.A. in mathematics, and then earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Even though she fully intended to be a dentist, she never practiced even one day in the dental profession. She first became a housewife and mother, then developed her writing career.

Faye Kellerman has well over twenty million copies of her novels in circulation. The Decker/Lazarus thrillers are among her most successful works. They include such titles as: Sacred and Profane; Milk and Honey; Day of Atonement; Justice; Prayers for the Dead, and many others. She has also received awards for her collection of short stories. As if all that writing and creating were not enough, she also has hobbies of gardening, sewing, and jogging. She has four children, and lives in Los Angeles and Santa Fe.

Upon being asked how an educated Dentist becomes an accomplished, award winning author, she said it was... a desire for justice, a suspicious nature, an overactive imagination, and of course, a penchant for the bizarre.

Goodreads review by Sara on May 05, 2022

I have read every single one of Faye Kellerman's books and I love Rina and Pete. So I am always happy to see a new book in this series. However, this one is a total disappointment. I don't mind a little violence and sex, but this one is so filled with rape, repugnant sex and dehumanization that it t......more

Goodreads review by Susan on August 21, 2022

I have been a fan of Faye Kellerman's since THE RITUAL BATH and have loved most everything she has written. However, I was not sure that I wanted to read THE HUNT, this 27th entry into the Decker/Lazarus series. The Deckers settled in a college town several books ago, Greenbury, hundreds of miles fr......more

Goodreads review by Lorraine on September 17, 2023

I feel the need to comment on this one instead of just giving star rating. I love Peter and Rina and have loved every one of the books dedicated primarily to them. I can’t stand Donatti and Terry. He’s an abhorrent character and she’s a whiny submissive. This book runs two stories concurrently, and th......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on January 12, 2022

I have been a fan of Rina and Peter Decker since “The Ritual Bath” so I found myself rather shocked finding a traditional Decker detective novel wrapped around a rather bizarre psychosexual love story. As a fan, I knew all the characters and their histories, but this was such a deviation from my exp......more

Goodreads review by AndiReads on June 12, 2022

This is the last, LAST Rina Lazarus/Peter Decker book. Hard to believe, I remember reading them way way way back. I learned quite a bit about the Jewish faith reading those early books! In this thriller, Gabe (Peter and Rina's adopted son) receives a call for help from his mother Terry. Rina and Pete......more
