Give Me Your Hand by Megan Abbott

3.0

I bought this at my favorite book store, Book People in Austin. It was on a staff recommended mystery section and is a signed copy. It certainly kept me interested as I read it very quickly. I enjoyed the backdrop of the chemistry and scientific research labs. I had never ready anything that had a focus on PMDD and how the menstrual cycle affects the brain. I could relate to entirely too many of the issues expressed. It got a little sloppy toward the end and I had to extend belief a bit. the psychological aspects of what we know of others and what we think we know, then what we make up in our own heads that motivates actions is an interesting bit. The author did do a good job of keeping it suspenseful.
