Title: Good not great
Product review: The mystery in this story is a little convoluted. In an effort to make it challenging the author puts in several plot twists at the end that had me going back to the beginning of the book. However, I still enjoy mysteries like this one mostly because you learn a little about the early history of psychoanalysis and the history of New York. The author inserts several real life events, including one that seems very unlikely but did actually happen, and ties them together in a plausible way. It's not a great mystery but it is very good historical fiction. If you like mysteries where the mystery is simply an excuse to learn about some academic topic you'll like this.
