Immensely intelligent and poignantly human, Frieda Klein has captivated book critics and crime readers everywhere with her debut outing as Blue Monday's iconoclastic heroine. A psychotherapist and insomniac who spends her nights walking along the ancient rivers that lie beneath modern London, Frieda stars in a dazzling new crime series in which the terrors of the mind spill over into real life. When five-year-old Matthew Farraday is abducted, Frieda cannot ignore the fact that his photograph perfectly matches the boy one of her patients describes from his fantasies. Before long, Frieda finds herself serving as the reluctant sidekick of Detective Chief Inspector Karlsson at the center of a desperate race to find the kidnapper. Blue Monday is an atmospheric, stunning first novel in a crime series for fans of In Treatment and The Killing.

2.0 Mäßig schlauer und spannungsbefreiter ›Psychothriller‹

4.5 Review- Blue Monday
I'm not sure what to say about Blue Monday, it's one of those books that just works, at least for me. The heroine, Dr Frieda Klein, is not a particularly sympathetic woman. She seems rather closed in, distant from the other characters in the book and distant from the reader. But the book doesn't beg...

5.0 Blue Monday - Nicci French
This falls into the sub-genre of psychological mystery, in which a case from some time ago (a twenty-two-year-old kidnapping) continues to affect the lives of various people. Here's why I love it: the female therapist doesn't need saving and isn't constantly in danger just from being female, on the ...

2.5 Blue Monday
This had such a promising start that I really thought that this would be the next series that I would fall in love with. Unfortunately this fell quite short of that. I could never really find myself interested in following the main character Freida. She just felt too cold to me. We never really get ...
