false 820394 19 Experienced readers of crime and thrillers tend to stifle a yawn these days when they encounter a mountain of hype about a new book or author. But the fevered word of mouth that has been generated by Jed Rubenfeld's <I>The Interpretation of Murder</I> is, for once, justified. This is a remarkably ambitious book, taking on a powerful suspenseful narrative, assiduously researched historical detail and a brilliant evocation of time and character. It's not surprising that the book has already been sold in 20 different countries, and is already something of an international publishing phenomenon. The secret, of course, is in plotting, and few carry this off as adroitly as the author does here. But there is some wonderful historical detail here also, and a conjuring up of real-life characters that is very intelligently done.<p>Despite the outward success of his visit to the USA, Sigmund Freud always spoke as if some trauma had befallen him there. He blamed the country for physical ailments that afflicted him long before his visit. Freud's biographers have been bemused by his reaction, wondering whether some terrible unknown event might have happened in America that could explain this. <i>The Interpretation of Murder</i> is strikingly written literary thriller constructed around Freud's American visit. An attractive young debutante is discovered bound, whipped and strangled in a luxurious New York apartment and another society beauty narrowly escapes the same fate. But nothing about the attacks--or the victims--is as it seems. <br>--<I>Barry Forshaw</I> 2444564 2006 The Interpretation of Murder total:1225|5:144|4:370|3:492|2:174|1:45| 1225 4069 1786 302 3 13 false false Thu Sep 03 15:24:57 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 18:27:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 4 false false Sat Feb 14 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 01 12:31:11 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 15 14:22:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 2 false false Wed Mar 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 17 15:51:07 -0700 2007 Wed Mar 19 19:18:48 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 2 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Dec 16 11:45:44 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 10:44:30 -0800 2008 4 1 false false Tue Feb 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 11:42:08 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 07:03:28 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 31 08:20:56 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 16:37:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 1 false false Wed Dec 05 03:30:25 -0800 2007 Tue Oct 16 06:45:05 -0700 2007 Wed Dec 05 02:07:20 -0800 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Mar 11 14:29:36 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 14:29:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 01:16:22 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 01:31:54 -0700 2008 The prose is at times sl...more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Dec 05 06:59:11 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 07:02:32 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Jan 28 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 02:15:25 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 10:05:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Mar 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 04 10:36:11 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 02:01:23 -0700 2008
