A Unique Story
Rating:
4 / 5
Katy Klein is a psychologist turned professional astrologer living in Ottawa (Canada). A client, Adam, turns to her in an attempt to unlock repressed childhood memories. She's worried by his desperation, but soon finds herself drawn into his life. Things get out of control quickly, and Katy is forced to face Adam's demons as well as her own.
This is Karen's first novel, and she's started out with a bang! This book manages to wrap up suspense, humour and mystery in one fun to read package. The story moves along at a good place, with no real slow spots. The writing style is light and very easy to read.

Ms. Irving's books are a sweet treat. I can't recall how I happened upon them, but I am glad I did. Her stories are expertly cast and have intelligent writing and sophisticated stories. Her writing is like smooth butter or fine silk. They are set in Canada, but don't let that bother you if you don't like settings outside the US. The protagonist is a psychologist/astrologer but if metaphysical things bother you, don't worry. It doesn't overtake the story, but for those of us who love it, it's a nice sprinkle of information. This writer certainly knows her astrology. The sleuth is also Jewish, which adds a nice dimension. Everything is PERFECTLY balanced and extremely interesting. Her writing is up there with Stephen White and Jonathan Kellerman, maybe even better. Her writing is fresh and smart, deserving of the attention they get. Start from the beginning just to enjoy the three that are out so far---or just dive in. I tell you, if you love mysteries, there is nothing missing from this series. Nothing. It's sophisticated, it's engaging, it's witty, it's profound, it's complex, it's simple, it's serious ... you get my point. It has all the elements of life, life with all of its wonderful mysteries.
A truly gripping mystery with unique astrological twists
