Customer Reviews

The Profile is a little blurred.

Lisa Robbins is psychiatrist, a woman whose world is populated by a patient who is stalking her, a husband who is a confirmed philanderer, an ex-priest cop, and an overprotective mother-in-law. Though Lisa is not the criminal, nor is she the crime solver, this is her novel: it is about one person's quarrel with the world and her suspicion of those who populate it. It's a challenging mystery, densely populated, with a surprise ending. My quarrel with the book is that it is rife with opportunities for interesting character development and psychological insights, but none of the characters are ever fully developed, and the reader is left with impressions and shadows, not the sharp edges of well-defined characterization.
