The protagonist of Michaelides' mystery-thriller is a psychologist on a mission to save an artist who has been accused of murdering her husband. There's no good reason she should have done that--by all accounts they had a great marriage. The sneaky protagonist has a few tricks up his sleeve, and he's determined to coax his silent patient into talking.
On balance we enjoyed the unusual narrative structure and characters. We were mixed on what we thought about the narrator--some of us had more sympathy for him than others. The writing is clean and crisp, and the novel doesn't fit any usual patterns.
