Ordinarily, I'm not much for mystery novels, and I read them only infrequently, since otherwise I get really bored with the predictable plotting, though it's not like romance stories are any less predictable and I still read those by the dozens. It may not make much logical sense, but this is how I feel. Anyway, I accepted a review request for the first book in this series, Blue Monday, sort of on a whim, and was surprised to find how much I enjoyed it. Tuesday's Gone steps up the tension of the...more

The second book in the Freida Klien series. The story opens with a social worker visiting the flat of one of her mentally ill patients, Michelle Doyce. All appears well at first but then when Michelle mentions she is entertaining someone and the social worker looks in on the guest the mystery begins. It seems as though Michelle has been serving tea and buns to a dead man for the last few days. He's sitting propped up on the couch, completely naked and his middle finger is missing. With Michelle...more
This is the second book in the detective/psychological thriller series featuring psychotherapist Dr. Frieda Klein, who is the occasional collaborator of London Detective Chief Inspector Malcolm Karlsson. There is no romantic involvement between the two, although not for want of enthusiasm among readers for the match-up.
When the story opens, a social worker discovers a mentally ill woman tending to a decaying corpse. The ill woman doesn’t seem to get that the man is dead, and so she isn’t the bes...more

Tuesday's Gone was an ARC from Net Galley and the Penguin Group and will be released on April 4.

I read it before reading Blue Monday and actually consider Tuesday's Gone the better novel, although I'd still recommend reading them in order for a number of reasons including back stories.

Περίμενα με μεγάλη ανυπομονησία το νέο βιβλίο της Nicci French, ένα καλλιτεχνικό ψευδώνυμο πίσω από το οποίο βρίσκεται το συγγραφικό, και όχι μόνο, ζεύγος, Nicci Gerrard και Sean French, και είμαι βεβαία πως όσοι έχετε διαβάσει το "Blue Monday", συμμερίζεστε το πάθος μου για την πένα τους/της. Και αυτό γιατί, τόσο το "Blue Monday", όσο και το νέο βιβλίο των περιπετειών της ψυχοθεραπεύτριας Φρίντα Κλάιν με τίτλο, "Tuesday's Gone", δεν είναι ένα ακόμα απλό, κοινότυπο αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα αλλά, κ...more
Nicci French introduced the protagonist of this new series --- psychotherapist heroine, Frieda Klein, in the novel BLUE MONDAY. Suffering from insomnia causes Frieda to roam the ancient rivers of London by night and often turning up some scary things.
In the first novel, Frieda is faced with helping the police in the form of her reluctant partner, Detective Chief Inspector Karlsson, to find a kidnapped 5-year-old boy. Frieda is drawn into the case because the chief suspect may be one of her patie...more

3.5 really - I enjoyed this book and found it intriguing from the opening scenes. I wanted to know more about doyce and her life, sadly I never got her back story, I wanted to see how the different victims stories developed and was able to identify with frieda's feelings toward Robert Poole! There were elements of his character that were charming you'd imagine and there were times when I thought he hadn't really done wrong my Mary orton. Her obnoxious and self serving sons were so grimly painted...more

Frieda is a person who is very tough to read at first. But it introduced me to many things in the world of the psychotherapist. I ended up empathizing greatly with her and feeling that she was basically doing the right thing most of the time.
First, she CARES. She cares toooo much. But that's good. This guy named Joseph really messed up his life, but she puts him right to work on the case. That was really cool. And he is sort of a Russian guy from the Kiev-- so he can read clues that she can't re...more

Psychotherapist Frieda Klein finds herself working with the London police again, after a decomposing body is found in the apartment of a woman named Michelle Doyce. Michelle is mentally ill and cannot give the authorities any information about who the man is and how he died. Frieda doesn't believe that Michelle is a murderer, neither does DCI Karlsson, but his bosses have closed the case, since Michelle is off the streets and in a psychiatric hospital. Frieda, however, continues to pursue the ma...more
Maggie is a social worker. She has one last stop to make for the day. She is stopping to check on Michelle Doyce. Michelle answers the door and asks Maggie if she wants to meet someone. Maggie finds this a little odd as Michelle lives alone. When Maggie sees the visitor, she knows instantly that something is wrong. The man is dead. He has been for a while as the flies are buzzing around him and he has started bloating from decomposition.

I’ve long been a big fan of the Nicci French writing partnership – they were writing psychological thrillers long before their current popularity, good stories well told with strong female lead characters (my particular favourites are Killing Me Softly, Beneath the Skin and the wonderful Secret Smile). But I was disappointed in the last two or three before this series started. Psychotherapist Dr Frieda Klein has given them a new and original angle, and this series is shaping up really nicely – I...more
I should begin this review by saying that I was lucky enough to win this book in the Goodreads FirstReads Giveaway Program. Because this book was the second in a series, while I was waiting for it to arrive (and it arrived quickly) I read the first book in the series, Blue Monday. I'm glad that I read Blue Monday while I was waiting because I really enjoyed it and because there were many happenings in the first book that impacted the story line in Tuesday’s Gone. However this book could easily b...more
In this follow up to Blue Monday psychotherapist Frieda Klein returns to help Chief Inspector Karlsson. A London social worker making a routine home visit discovers her client serving tea to a naked decomposing corpse. Frieda is asked to help identify the man and what she finds is a complex web of lies and half truths that all eventually seem to connect back to her.

Het eerste deel van de 'dokter Frieda Klein' reeks, Blauwe Maandag, heb ik met een ruk uitgelezen. Ik verwachtte dan ook niets minder van het tweede deel 'Dinsdag is voorbij'. Maar het mocht niet baten dat het eerste deel zo'n vaart liep en spannend was. Bij het tweede deel bleef ik maar denken 'wanneer gaat het hier beginnen ? En toen het plot eenmaal geserveerd werd, was ik nog meer ontgoocheld.

When Frieda is asked to consult on a new case with the local police, she's a bit surprised. Though the Dean Reeve case was closed and the kidnapped child was saved, two people were murdered and Frieda can't help but feel somewhat responsible. Dean Reeve's wife is writing a tell all that paints Frieda in a none to pleasant light and the wife of the patient who started it all has filed a formal complaint against the therapist. But this new case does intrigue Frieda. A social worker discovers a wom...more
Tuesday's Gone picks up around a year after the events of Blue Monday, which introduced psychiatrist Dr Frieda Klein who reluctantly became involved in a police investigation involving one of her clients and an abducted boy. In the midst of a cold London winter, DCI Karlsson asks Frieda to speak with a disturbed woman found caring for a naked, rotting corpse in her flat, unable to provide a coherent statement. Deciphering Michelle Doyce's rambling leads Freida and Karlsson's team to identify the...more

Dr. Frieda Klein is a London psychotherapist introduced in "Blue Monday: A Novel," a story that brought other characters to the canvas, like police detective Karlsson. The back story from the first novel reverberates periodically in "Tuesday's Gone," another thriller that opens with a murder. But not just any murder. The victim himself is an unknown entity, which makes finding the killer even more challenging. And when his body is discovered in the flat of a mentally ill woman, there is very lit...more
The second book in the Dr. Frieda Klein series written by the husband and wife team known as Nicci French has a captivating story line. Psychotherapist, Dr. Frieda Klein finds herself once again assisting DCI Karlsson and the London Police after an unknown man in found dead, naked, and decomposing in the apartment of a woman with an extreme mental disorder. Then, instead of things getting easier once the body is identified, things just got stranger. However, although I couldn't put the book down...more
I actually enjoyed this book a great deal more than Blue Monday, the first in the series. I think that was because the storyline in this one appealed to me more and also the main characters were established and you knew what to expect and how they'd act. There was also more development of Frieda's character in this book and I liked that additional information on her background as it made her actions and feeling make more sense.

It’s been over a year since Frieda Klein worked the police case with DCI Malcolm Karlsson. In that time she’s gone back to her normal life, being a therapist to her patients, keeping up with her niece Chloe and trying resolutely not to think of Sandy, the lover who went to America. Then all of a sudden, Karlsson shows up, asking for her help again.

I have to admit to being somewhat disappointed with this one, having absolutely loved the first novel in Nicci French's Frieda Klein series. I felt Tuesday's Gone dragged rather after a fantastic opening scene and that the ending was rushed, and I'm not particularly enamoured with Frieda as a character and don't find her anywhere near as intriguing as the French writing duo evidently do. Having said that, Nicci French even when not on top form is (are?) still better than almost anything else out...more
Very good, what more can I say. I've read all of their books and have watched the way they've developed over the years. This one was just packed with detail though sometimes I felt there was a bit too much. There were a lot of threads, a lot to follow and yet it was still possible to spot what was coming. I like Frieda. She's awkward and difficult and sometimes oversteps her boundaries but she's a damaged human being and I love reading about people like her. I adored the descriptions of London i...more
Psychotherapist Frieda Klein is back, once again called on to assist the police in a puzzling case. A decomposing body is found in the apartment of Michelle Doyce, a mentally ill woman living on the fringes of society. The woman isn’t making any sense and can’t or won’t tell the police how the body got there, only that she is taking care of it.
The police assume Michelle must have murdered the man, but after speaking with her, Frieda isn’t so sure. Once the police establish the identity of the de...more

Book Review & Giveaway: As we mentioned when we reviewed Blue Monday, Book #1 in the Frieda Klein series, bestselling author Nicci French is actually the pseudonym of an English couple, Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. Together they have melded their minds to become one of today’s leading crime fiction authors.
Tuesday’s Gone is Book #2 in the series. While it can be read as a stand-alone novel, I’d recommend reading them in order. A link to our review of Blue Monday is at the end of this revi...more

Nicci French is my speed.
Not that I'm addicted by any means (as I surely would be if I tried the pharmaceutical).
It kept me awake. Honestly, if you knew how few things do that, you'd understand why that impresses me.
I read this in a day. Why a book like this has to be 450 pages long is beyond me, but they zip along, the complaint is by the by.
I haven't read the first of this series and I don't think I will read any more either. But I object to this business of suckering in the reader with story...more
