The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld

2.0

I picked this book up because it looked like an interesting historical fiction, especially since it prominently features Dr. Freud during his visit to America a century ago. Dr. Stratham Younger, an emerging psychoanalyst following in Freud's footsteps, becomes entangled in an investigation of both a murder and an attempted murder. In the latter case, the victim suffers amnesia, and Younger hopes to use psychoanalysis to help her regain her memory. However, things are never that simple and soon Younger is in over his head.

Not a bad mystery, but not really my usual thing. It did seem to drag several times throughout, and sometimes I felt like there were just too many various twists - the author was always coming up with something.
