“How much grief and pain can any of us carry before we break?”
Dr. Laina Landers shares a successful psychology practice with a colleague in San Diego, California. She’s beloved by her patients, has a few close friends, and is currently single by choice. Life is good and she really loves her work. So when bad things suddenly start happening to those clients she is trying to help, Laina must find out how their private and confidential information is being released. Laina meets investigative journalist, Cal Murray, when he interviews her after she talks down a husband in a domestic violence threat. She and he begin a relationship and he starts examining the situation with an eye to identifying the perpetrator.
I had a hard time putting this down once I started and it definitely went in an unexpected direction which I fully appreciated. I liked the writing style and the character development as well as the skillful twisting of the plot. The narrative was suspenseful and fast-paced and I found the puzzle quite interesting to piece together. There’s a lot to unpack within the story but the issue of privacy is at its heart. Who might be watching you? I can just see this as a film or television series!
Definitely a psychological thriller that I can recommend though the author does go off on a few tangents about some hot button issues.
