Publisher's Summary:
Lisa Scottoline, internationally best-selling author of Keep Quiet, returns with Every Fifteen Minutes, the compulsive tale of a doctor whose life is being unravelled from the outside in....
Dr Eric Parrish is the chief of a highly regarded psychiatric unit near Philadelphia. Recently separated from his wife, he is doing his best to be a single parent to his seven-year-old daughter, Hannah. But when Eric takes on a new patient, his entire world begins to crumble.
Seventeen-year-old Max has a terminally ill grandmother. That plus his OCD and violent thoughts about a girl he likes make him a high-risk patient. When the girl is found murdered, Max is nowhere to be seen. Then Eric's own staff turns on him in a trumped-up charge of sexual harassment. Can all this chaos be random? Or is someone systematically trying to destroy Eric's life?
Members Reviews:
Great plot, flawed protagonist
Not, bad, in spite of a seriously unlikeable protagonist. Waaaaaay to much of a goody-two-shoes for me, especially for a grown man, even more so for a psychiatrist who you would think would have a greater measure of street smarts at that stage of his life. I could never come to terms with his strange behavior- or is it possible he was just that naive? Whatever, how can anyone possibly deal with an adult male, a professional, who repeatedly calls the women in his life - and the things they do - "cute" and "adorable"? Jeepers. A girlie-guy for sure. Not someone I'd choose to spend time with, in real life.
That said, I do credit the author for any number of stunning - and completely surprising, to me, anyway - plot twists. Well done indeed! I both read the book and listened to the Audible version - purchasing error on my part - and in listening, even though I remembered the basic plot structure from having read it long before, I was still fascinated by how the author ended it, how she set us up for it from the beginning. That is great storytelling, and deserves lots of praise - although probably not a third reading, at least not by me. Still, a worthy read!
More red herrings than a Scandinavian breakfast!
I don't think anyone needs another review with a plot synopsisâpresumably you have read that above. I have read all of Scottoline's series of Rosato books, and greatly enjoyed them, so I was looking forward to this one. I devour mysteries, so when the clues seemed to point to one character as the sociopath who is narrating the beginning of each chapter, I kept thinking that there had to be a twist. And boy, are there twists! It isn't often that I get to the final denouement and am totally blown away, but I was in this book. Highly recommend!
page turner, great plot twists and continuing characters
She has the best plot twists.
She is like a female Robert Grisham. I enjoy the female touch and the family orientation the characters have.
I have read several of these books now and i love getitng to know all the family members.
If you like a books that carry the same characters through each book, you will love these.
very engaging.
I havent read one I didnt like.
When I like a book a buy another one by the same author and i have now purchased 10-11 of Lisa Scottoline's.
I highly recommend them!! all of them.
Will keep you guessing as you rush to the very last page!
To clarify, I give this book 3.5 stars, as it was a gripping, fast paced psychological thriller.
