The Shadow Bird por Ann Gosslin
"Three months into her new role as a psychiatrist at a clinic in upstate New York, Erin Cartwright is asked to evaluate the case of a man who murdered his mother and sisters at the age of 17." The book was enjoyable although stilted and unclear in parts. Roundabout ways of looping the different characters together is not my cup of tea but work in this regard. I found the main character's inability to deal with past traumas ironic in light of her job title.
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.
Erin, a psychiatrist at a facility for young women, who has lied to her employers about her identity and place of birth (but nevertheless somehow obtained the ability to work in the States) is asked to consult on whether Tim, a man who murdered his family many years ago and was found unfit to plead, is now suitable for release from psychiatric custody. Despite the fact that she realizes she probably met Tim when they were both teenagers, Erin takes the case. She then spends the book neglecting her actual patients, revealing incremental details of her own melodramatic past, having superficial interviews with Tim, and acting as a sort of private investigator, trying to work out if Tim was actually responsible in the first place. Between the deception, the unprofessional behaviour, the relentless improbable coincidences and the (to me) slightly creepy love interest, I only finished this out of a sense of responsibility to NetGalley.… (más)
