Frieda Klein había pensado que ya no tendría que trabajar con la policía en ningún otro caso. Hasta que el inspector Karlsson llama de nuevo a la puerta de su consulta en un gélido febrero londinense. Han encontrado el cadáver de un hombre en avanzado estado de descomposición en el piso de Michelle Doyce, una mujer de edad avanzada con un peculiar desorden mental. La policía ignora quién es el muerto, cómo pudo llegar hasta allí y qué le sucedió, y no logran entender a Michelle. Karlsson espera que Frieda pueda acceder a las verdades enterradas entre el confuso parloteo de la anciana. Poco a poco, haciéndola hablar y escuchándola, Frieda descubre pequeñas pistas que la conducirán a identificar al muerto: un hombre con un pasado muy misterioso, cuyo asesinato implica a varios sospechosos. Desentrañando quién dice la verdad y quién no, la psiquiatra va acercándose gradualmente al asesino… Another novel with Frieda Klein as the main character. Again the author uses London almost as a character and introduces the reader to interesting places and sides of this city - nice idea and definately a plus, compared to most crime novels with interchangeable locations. All main characters from the first book reappear again in this novel, some characters which are only briefly mentioned in book are expanded in this second book. The plot of this book is better than the first, more coherent and believable, despite its "surprising twists". The loose ends from book one are picked up as well and the story of the twins and the still missing victim continues. I really liked this novel (in my opinion it is better than the first) - and I would have liked it even more, if I read the books in chronological order. I am looking forward to Wednesday. Dark and intriguing. Protagonist is a conflicted, disturbed psychotherapist. After two books you still aren't told where all her neuroses originated. Story is engaging, as are Freida and Karlsson. Mystery is ambiguous as the reader is often blind-sided by a revelation about a character foretold in a shadow. Only looking back do you see how it could be so. Gets a little bogged down in the personal thoughts of two "crazy" people. I don't need to know what it sounds like to be inside their heads; I can look inside my own mess. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Frightening to learn how often police take 'the path of least resistance' to close a case inadequately investigated. Happens more often if victims and suspects are poor, elderly, ill, defenseless, homeless, drug-addicted or criminal.
We learn more about why Frieda Klein, a dedicated and intuitive psychoanalyst, is compelled to analyze and help people who are troubled and distressed. And how deeply she understands people's motivations, thoughts and desires; and how to draw them out so she can help.
This series is clearly an improvement on Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware series in which a psychologist assists his friend, LAPD Detective Milo Sturgis. I love that French's books are more layered and nuanced than the frenzied, over-wrought, and violence-obssessed Kellerman series.
Excellent read!
