Review of the week…

   The Healer…


When I first heard about this book, the brilliant cover and title intrigued me, and I expected it to be some kind of supernatural mystery. The Healer is nothing of the kind. It is a well-written psychological thriller, and not a simple story by any means.Christoph Fischer has created entirely believable and fascinating character profiles of both the healer and the woman he treats.The woman, dying of cancer, seeks a cure from the healer, but this turns out to be not a magical ‘one touch and you’re healed’ situation. There are all kinds of conditions, and as you read, you begin to form your own opinions as to the truth of it all.Is the healer the real deal, will the woman be healed? Or is she being taken for a very expensive ride?
Suspicions and red herrings abound as the story twists and turns, and at times, you find yourself doubting the motives of everyone.I thoroughly recommend this book…


 About the Author...


Christoph Fischer was born in Germany, near the Austrian border, as the son of a Sudeten-German father and a Bavarian mother. Not a full local in the eyes and ears of his peers he developed an ambiguous sense of belonging and home in Bavaria. He moved to Hamburg in pursuit of his studies and to lead a life of literary indulgence. After a few years, he moved on to the UK where he now lives in a small hamlet, not far from Bath. He and his partner have three Labradoodles to complete their family.
Christoph worked for the British Film Institute, in Libraries, Museums and for an airline.
He has written several other novels, which are in the later stages of editing and finalisation.
