Intriguing Intrigue

A very easy read. The story moves quickly and the character development is great. The plot twists and turns and whodunit is not obvious. I would like it if conversations were not reiterated as new scenes unfold. Recommend this for a quick reading fix that will hold your attention. Looking forward to more Mort and Millie adventures.

THERAPEUTIC WHODUNNIT

Eight patients of psychiatrist Mort Yvars and his wife Millie meet every Monday night for a two hour anger management therapy session. Tryone Sawyer, young musician, Lyle Stuart, soap opera hunk, Judd Webster, U.S. Senator, Eileen Matthews, super model, Meg Armstrong, romance novelist, Doug Simons, ace reporter for the NY Times, Mary Hargrove, assitant manager of an upscale fashion boutique, and Steve Bass, business man, all exhibit short fuses and violent behaviors. Though required to divulge all their volitale episodes before entering the group, each hides incriminating secrets. One Monday Tyrone is a no show enducing nervous angst among the patients. And for good reason; Sawyer is lying dead on an abandoned street, the apparent victim of cardiac arrest. Two days later Judd Webster dies of the same malady, and a day later Eileen Matthews befalls the exact fate. Who is next? Why are all these seemingly healthy people dying of suspicious heart failure? Who in this group is the next to die? And who is decimating these associates one by one? The FBI's suspicions mount when small bullet wounds are discovered in each corpse. Unfortunately, their field agent sent to decipher the unexplained contusions becomes the next victim. Now anal retentive, fear-riddled Dr. Mort must search for answers. With the aid of loving Millie, the duo hunt clues to these mysterious deaths, endangering their own lives in the pursuit. Bruce Forester, author/pychiatrist, pens a taunt, suspenseful, sometimes humorous tale that keeps the pages flipping and the adrenline pumping. Knowledge of forensic procedures, medical agendums, and opera are intertwined into the supsense. The dialogue rings true, the plot doesn't bog with too many suspects, the level of suspense consistantly mounts, and a spine-tingling conclusion ensues. A suspenseful thriller guarenteed to satiate the most avid mystery fan.

A winsome couple in a super thriller

A fast paced thrilling read. Loved the couple Mort and Millie and their foibles and funny sense of humor none of which detracted to the suspence. I am looking forward to the second in the series which I noted on the pub web site is titled When a Stranger Knocks. Interesting already.....
