FFB, TUESDAY'S GONE, NIcci French


Another good addition to the story of Frieda Klein, the psychotherapist who helps the police solve murders in England. In this one, a man is found naked and dead, a part of a finger missing, in the home of a woman who is mentally diminished. How he got there, who he is, who she is, are all part of a pretty complicated plot. We also come to learn more about Klein, her family and friends. All of the characters receive a lot of attention. This is a well-plotted series and individual novel. One of the nice things about this series is it draws on the authors' knowledge of London as we walk through it at night and in the day. The sheer number of characters drawn well in this book is impressive.

Nicci French novels have been on my shelves for years. I need to take one down and read it soon.

I do like this series, Patti. I think Frieda Klein is a good character, and the story arcs are interesting.

Start at the beginning, George. Things will make more sense.

This is unrelated to earlier comments BUT the title "Tuesday's Gone" is a classic track by the US band Lynyrd Skynnyrd, features on their first album, 'Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Herd". Just thought I go there!! Stay well.
