Psychopath

Summary: Ablow has done it again
Review: This is the second book I have read by Keith Ablow. I enjoyed this one much more than Compulsion. The lead character is the same, but he has matured into a great "hero". The cat and mouse played out between the psychiatrist and the serial killer shows that we might all be just a little bit psycho. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes medical thrillers or mysteries.

Summary: Riveting
Review: While there were a few flaws or weaknesses this time - some letters fictionally published in the "New York Times" contained language that I doubt the Times would have accepted under any circumstances, as well as a disappointing lack of character development of supporting character North Anderson - this novel still emerged as my favorite thriller so far this year (with Lee Child maintaining a close second). As other reviewers have noted, forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger seems to have quelled many of his personal demons this outing. Just in time to meet up with a character who may prove to be his opposite number. After this, what remains? One could only fantasize of having Ablow & Harris team-up and allow Clevenger & Lector to cross paths.
