Enjoyed this read...plenty of twists and turns in this murder mystery. The parallel story of the main character's interactions with Sigmund Freud made Freud's views a bit more understandable in the world of psychotherapy. I'm stumbling at this point to recall who the psychiatrist, main character, eventually married -- was it his fiance or was it his former patient, certainly an unethical outcome in today's society yet very natural and innocent in this story. I'll have to pull the book out and reread the ending. You won't be disappointed with this if you want a relaxing read.

Loved this historiceal mystery set in Vienna in 1902. A quote from the book jacket says it all "An engrossing portrait of a legendary period as well as a brain teaser of startling perplexity". . . The Times--London

Took a bit to get ino but then it was a compelling read. I couldn't put it down. I loved the way it wove together the elements of a murder investigation with the beginning of the science of psychoanalyst and it's application to police work.
