Billed as a thriller - nope! Started out okay, albeit slow - another nope! Drug on - nope! Enjoyed the read - nope! Stunned at the ending - here is a YES!

But it really was slow starting, confusing midstream, and the feeling that everything was not really fleshed out as well as it could have been.

I love this author's Liebermann series, so when i saw this stand alone I was excited. An old house turned into a mental institution for those who cannot be helped by other means, a radical new psychiatrist who does not believe in Freud's talking cure, a new therapy involving prolonged sleep and a naive, somewhat new doctor who wants to learn and make a good impression. Of course things are not as simple as they first appear and there are things going on that have no reasonable explanation.
