MYSTERY NOVEL REVIEWS
“A tangled web of envy, rivalry, hatred, and illicit love fills this mystery novel by Judith Mitrani, herself a renowned psychoanalyst. Her detective, Ralph Orloff, melds together each suspect’s conscious and unconscious motivations, revealing the complexity of the human mind. Almost surreptitiously, Mitrani leaves a trail of breadcrumbs, leading the reader to the murderer. A page-turning investigation of both a homicide and the deepest recesses of the human heart.”
__Gloria Levin, Psychoanalyst/Author
“This procedural/mystery novel brings a new and fascinating approach to the often too predictable standard fare. Exposure to the unconscious influences in problem-solving adds immeasurably to the fun.”
__Doug Thorpe, Attorney
“Psychoanalysis is at the heart, and in the head, of this mystery by a career shrink who happens to know her way around a keyboard. As befits its topic, this is as much a 'whydunit' as a 'whodunit.' Judith Mitrani delivers both sets of goods in the end, along with psychoanalytic history and theory, wit, romance, and a nice slice of L.A. atmosphere.”
__Ellis Weiner, Author, editor, and humorist
“I’ve enjoyed reading this novel. I'm enthralled by the characters and the author does a great job of giving the reader their back story, providing important context for each one. Mitrani also builds intrigue and drama very well, leaving just enough unanswered questions, which is essential to keep the reader engaged to the stunning. I'm Looking forward to more Detective Ralph Orloff Mysteries.”
