Title: Too confusing; I can't recommend it.
Product review: I"m a psychologist and love mysteries so this seemed like a book I would love. It started out strong, but I began to lose interest as the plot and the characterization became more convoluted. The plot itself gets lost in the exposition about Freud, Jung, etc. Jung is portrayed in a very negative light that doesn't make a lot of sense. Little details about Freud seem like vanities of the author who wrote a thesis about him (the scene about his enuresis really put me off and did nothing to advance the story!). Details are supposed to make the characters more interesting, not less. By mid-book, I had completely lost interest. The tone is uneven with a few early parts being well written and the rest sounding painfully amateurish. Although I wanted to like this book, ultimately I can't recommend it.
