Spencer Seidel’s Lovesick. Just the kind of thriller I love. A troubled girl, missing. Her boyfriend dead, his throat slit. The only suspect? The boyfriend’s best friend, Paul Ducharme, who just happened to love the girl, too. But now, Paul says he can’t remember what happened to Lee that night on the Promenade Trail. And Wendy is still missing. Enter Dr. Lisa Boyers, a forensic psychologist brought in to help Paul recover his memories. Except as Paul recounts more and more, Lisa’s own past c

He was found in the woods sitting in a pool of his best friend Lee Janise's blood, cradling his body. Added to that, a girl named Wendy Trower has been missing for weeks. These th More...

Lovesick is my first Seidel read and I hope not my last. It's a book about a teenage boy found by cops holding his best friends body, in his hand is the murder weapon. Pretty open and shut case, well forensic psychologist Lisa Boyers is brought in to pick the kids brain things get interesting.
This book I blazed through. You know some books that are good but you still plod through them, not this one! I'd start reading and the next thing I know is that 100 pages were gone. I wish I c More...

Lovesick starts off by introducing the reader to Paul, a teenage boy who is found crouched over his best friend Lee's body, covered in blood and holding a weapon. Seems like an open and shut case, right? It's not. Paul claims to have amnesia and not remember what he saw at the crime scene, but never stops proclaiming his innocence. Psychologist Lisa Boyers is brought on board to interview Paul about that night, and she begins unraveling secrets about the victim, Lee, and his girlfriend, Wendy, w

A friend of mine (who has exquisite literary tastes) highly recommend Spencer Seidel’s debut novel, Dead of Wynter, (which I loved) so when I received the opportunity to review Lovesick I immediately knew I had to read this book.
I should start out by saying that Lovesick is more like two stories in one book and while I had hoped that both would be equally intriguing that was not to be. I found myself highly interested in Paul’s story while I had to force myself to focus on Lisa’s s More...

Paul was just a normal teenager. But what sets a normal person to kill his best friend and lying in his pool of blood. This is exactly where Paul is found when the cops find him.
Dr. Lisa Boyer is contacted by Paul's attorney. Who happens to be an old friend of Lisa's. Paul's attorney wants Lisa to interview Paul and learn the truth about why Paul did what he did. Dr. Boyer agrees but gets more than she bargains for.

From the cover of Lovesick, I wouldn't have given it a second glance but the blurb was worth looking into. I have enjoy reading Lovesick. It has two stories. One is about a murder in a love triangle and the other is about the character Dr. Lisa Boyers' past. From the beginning of the story, the reader will wonder if this is a love triangle murder. Did Paul killed his best friend Lee over Wendy? or Did Wendy killed Lee and framed Paul for the murder? The ending is shocking.

Lovesick by Spencer Seidel (available in ebook now, and paperback in June 2012) is a crime thriller with a psychological twist. Dr. Lisa Boyers is a forensic psychologist and she agrees to assess Paul Ducharme, whose now infamous murder of his best friend Lee on the Eastern Promenade Trail in Portland is gaining national attention. Boyers is brought closer to her past than she’s comfortable with when a former friend, Rudy Swaner, asks for her help on his case. Boyers and Swaner tap dance arou

I found myself really wanting to read this book the more I got into it. There were times I had to force myself to put it down so I could tend to my real-world duties. If I could have, I would have read this in one sitting. I did not want to put it down. Yes, there were some plot points I saw coming. Some occurrences that seemed somewhat obvious to me, but the suspense behind everyone else piecing it together kept me going. Plus, there were plenty of surprises thrown in.

Lovesick is a very intense mystery thriller. Seidel starts the book out by describing the scene of a very bloody murder. Then Seidel plays back through the events leading up to the murder. It all starts out in a small town in Maine and the lives the seeming normal townsfolk are exposed in this story. Seidel is very graphic in his descriptions of the things that go on behind closed doors such as perversion and domestic violence. This book does contain strong violence and adult themes as you follo

A book that is more than a suspenseful who dun it. This book begins with one friend dead, one friend missing, and one friend in jail with the police assuming that he had orchestrated the entire scene. But did he. With this main story there is one underneath that involves the forensic psychologist who is asked to interview the suspect and get to the bottom of the story. These two plotlines were intertwined so well, that the reader was able to effortlessly flow from one story to the other.

This is almost two stories in one, but they entwined perfectly. A killer who doesn't remember or does he, a he loves her and she loves him love triangle, a doctor with buried past secrets amd troubles of her own. This is a story of three young friends growing up together and the terrible secrets that they hide.

A thoroughly gripping tale that begins with teenager Paul Ducharme being found kneeling over the dead body of his friend, Lee Janis. Initially, Paul cannot remember how he got there, and no one seems to know where Wendy Trower, Lee’s girlfriend and Paul’s friend and love interest, has disappeared to.
The truth of what really happened between Paul and Lee and Wendy is told primarily through a series of interviews between Paul and Dr. Lisa Boyers, a forensic psychologist with her own trou More...
