Avery quick paced and fascinating read. Lehane travels back in time to the early 1950s for this book, and it provides an interesting peek into the mindset of post ww2 vets as well as the treatment of mental health then, which was on the cusp of changing from lobotomies and locking people away, to pharmacology.

E twists and turns will keep you guessing until the last page, then thinking and guessing some more! Well worth a read.
