Des de bon començament la cita de l'obra d'Eurípides "Alcestis" ja ens dona la pista del nus de la narració, però el desenllaç final és sorprenent, malgrat el mite d'Alcestis està present tota l'estona, el gir de les darreres 20 darreres pàgines és inesperat. Tinc ganes de parlar amb algun terapeuta per saber si realment es dona la transferència entre el malalt i el pacient i si la metodologia és realment eficaç o bé el terapeuta es carrega amb els problemes del pacient i és o no capaç de deslliurar-se'n. De fet aquest terapeuta que descriu la novel·la evidentment no és capaç de ser una persona equilibrada tot i els anys de teràpia que ha seguit., no ha aconseguit resoldre el seu problema primigeni.
En Theo Faver no ha pogut superar el maltractament infringit pel seu pare durant la infantesa. Aquesta gran frustració que sent per no sentir-se estimat fa que davant la infidelitat de la seva esposa, ja d'adult, no no pugui reaccionar com una persona normal i tot acabi amb una gran tragèdia (grega). L'Alícia tampoc ha superat el seu trauma infantil, les paraules del seu pare després de l'accident de la seva mare la condemnen per sempre més. Però ella no ha seguit una teràpia mèdica, la pintura ha esta per ella la seva pròpia teràpia de salvació. Però en repetir-se per part del seu marit Guillem la condemna a mort fa que tot exploti.
Novel·la entretinguda que es llegeix fàcilment.

A psychological thriller and a mystery with a twist that will make you gasp when you find out. Well written and nicely paced. This is a first novel for Alex. It takes place in a mental hospital as a doctor tries to unravel the murder of a woman through the therapy of the person accused of the murder.

Psychological thriller for lovers of literature

Not only is this a murder mystery, it is a psychological thriller! The author references Tennyson, but also Sophocles and Euripides. The novel is set in Cambridge, in the fictional St. Christopher's College, so the references are not out of place. For me they enhanced my interest in the story!

This book, I am screaming WTF! joking I had my theories but yes this book is freaking amazing.. I started reading it last night and finished it today , soon as I got home from work. I am looking for other books by this author because talk about psychological thriller, this book really has you thinking what in the actually F. I don't even have words to fully articulate how much I love this book, and to my fellow thriller fans or psychological thriller fans this is a must read.

I am not even joking when I say I had like 4 or 5 different theories going on in my head, I did get one correctly but still by the time I got to the end my heart was racing so much I thought I was going to have a panic attack, one that I would be okay with.

I needed this 5 star read!!
