Amazing
Set in New York in the 1900s and you cannot help but think Rubenfeld has done his homework for this novel, it is rich in detail and information.

Had Me Laughing with Delight
Admittedly, I do not read a lot of crime, because I don't enjoy a lot of crime, but this is no ordinary crime book.
Rubenfeld had me on the edge of my seat... READ MORE
Synopsis
The 10 year anniversary edition of a dazzling literary thriller including brand new material, THE INTERPRETATION OF MURDER is the story of Sigmund Freud assisting a Manhattan murder investigation. Think SHADOW OF THE WIND meets THE HISTORIAN.
THE INTERPRETATION OF MURDER is an inventive tour de force inspired by Sigmund Freud's 1909 visit to America, accompanied by protégé and rival Carl Jung. When a wealthy young debutante is discovered bound, whipped and strangled in a luxurious apartment overlooking the city, and another society beauty narrowly escapes the same fate, the mayor of New York calls upon Freud to use his revolutionary new ideas to help the surviving victim recover her memory of the attack, and solve the crime. But nothing about the attacks - or about the surviving victim, Nora - is quite as it seems. And there are those in very high places determined to stop the truth coming out, and Freud's startling theories taking root on American soil.

Sometimes Too Much Like a History Lesson
At times the narrative veered off into a history lesson which, for me, lessened the impact. Overall a good read.

Really slow start, too many charaters to keep up with, although I kept reading just to find out how it ended which was a bit of a let down too.
