Here is my short review for Blue Monday By Nicci French. I was looking forward to reading this book from the moment I read the blurb. I don't know if I feel let down or not. I think sometimes my expectations may be a little too high.
Frieda Klein is a psychotherapist and insomniac that walks the streets at night.( A lot, about half the book or at least it seemed to )She is reserved from those around her,even her niece. She gets drawn into helping the police looking for a kidnapper because her patient has dreams/fantasies of boy that looks just like the kidnapped boy. Even though by doing so would be a breach of her contract with her patient. The story weaves together all the lives that are touched by the crime, the kidnapped boy, his family,the patient, the detective, Frieda's colleagues, her niece , a prior victim from 22 years ago , her family and of course Frieda herself.
Frieda is a flawed protagonist, which I do like. She does seem a bit cold to the ones around her.We don't really find out in this book why she keeps herself blocked off from everyone in her life. Maybe in Tuesday's Gone will find out more about Frieda.
It was fairly easy to figure out who was behind the crime(s). There was a lot of scenes of Frieda walking and inner dialogue. That would have been okay except it was basically the same thing over and over again. A bit repetitive.
With all that being said it was an okay book and I will be reading the next book in the series.
