Book Reviews of The Best Revenge
Book Review: "I recognized it, but I didn't. And then I did."
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a sucker for psychologist mysteries. It's the perfect combination. Both the crime and the job allow the writer to really explore character and its quirks in a deep fashion. I have also enjoyed the Alan Gregory books in the past.
This one was not the best that I have read. It *does* raise some interesting elements-- particularly Gregory's ambivalence to his own patients and his ability to suspend judgment and help treat potential offenders. However-- I can't really say much about the flaws without spoiling the plot-- aspects of the ending could have developed that theme more fully, except that I have the feeling that White pulled his punches. I also found the plot line with Kelda quite difficult to believe-- parts of it felt written to be sensational rather than written to fit the story. It didn't quite work.
All in all, some interesting bits-- but bits that didn't quite gel for me. Won't stop me from picking up another book by White in the future.
