Review title: Raging Roosevelt Meets Freud
Product review: The Alienist is probably about 100 pages too long, yet nonetheliss quite thrilling. It is not really a mystery, more a study in morbid psychology. Its characters are varied, from Theodore Roosevelt down to the boy-whore rapist and killer. Some of the details seem anachronistic to me, more what New York was like some twenty years earlier. Overall, if you like gory thrillers thick with atmosphere and with splendid character development, this is a book you will want to read more than once.
