As an homage to her hard work, I decided to read a book about a psychologist who winds up working with the police. The psychologist (hello, Amy!) is a lovely woman, and very smart, and I have no doubt that she'll have me all figured out in a tick.

If you are any of those people, then please do drop me a line - I'd love to know what you're reading these days. Unless you're Agent Hawthorne, or the psychologist, or the person who approves Hawthorne's expenses. Reader, exciting news! Did you know that Agent Hawthorne has hired a psychologist to profile me? Of course you don't. I look forward to reading all the book in this series and anything else Michael Robotham writes." You know its going to be a bad day when you are having a prostate examination and you feel both of your doctor's hands on your shoulders! " And what a great series it is (I have just finished #2, more on that soon) I love the main characters natural, flawed but not sullen or drunk or self-loathing pessimists – characters you can grow with, want to read more about, empathise with. So now I am having a proper introduction to the characters and the writer by starting at the beginning of the series. I am so pleased I have been properly introduced to this series (I read the 7 th book in the series, Watching You, first) and it was a cracker of a read. But when O’Loughlin recognizes the victim as one of his former patients, an emotionally disturbed young woman who nearly brought ruin upon him, O’Loughlin hesitates-a fateful decision that soon places O’Loughlin at the top of the lists of both a bullish detective, and a diabolical killer.ĭo you know that feeling you get when you pick up a book and start reading it and instantly you know the author can write? Well this book showcases the writing skills of Michael Robotham so well! The narrative is credible, intelligent (treats the reader with respect), doesn’t ask you to go along with ludicrous situations, it has great character development, and a plot that twists and turns and surprises.
