A review by mr_emmet
The Night Listener by Armistead Maupin

2.0

Three stars seems oddly too high for this book, so take my 2 stars to mean 2.5ish. I really couldn't say it was in the slightest bit believeable nor particularly gripping. The only thing keeping me reading at points was an inability to sleep on my part.

Firstly, speaking as someone with some knowledge of the profession of psychologists and someone also aware of child protection protocols, there's a whole lot of suspension of disbelief required for this story.

I have to admit it's pretty passable as some "thrillers" go, but nothing I'd whole or even half-heartedly endorse.
