Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante
3.0
3 STARS
(Read for Book Club)
"Dr. Jennifer White, a brilliant former surgeon in the early grips of Alzheimer's, is suspected of murdering her best friend, Amanda. Amanda's body was found brutally disfigured - with four of her fingers cut off in a precise, surgical manner. As the police pursue their investigation and Jennifer searches her own mind for fractured clues to Amanda's death, a portrait emerges of a complex relationship between two uncompromising, unsentimental women, lifelong friends who were at times each other's most formidable adversaries." (From Amazon)
A really fascinating suspense novel - how do you defend yourself against murder when you don't even remember where you were or any current details. This novel made an excellent book club selection as there was a lot to discuss and the ending alone is worth it.
