Kate Fansler, la catedrática y detective aficionada -tan erudita como chispeante- que protagoniza las novelas de amanda Cross, aconseja a una de sus alumnas que acuda a un famoso psiquiatra neoyorquino con quien mantuvo en tiempos una relación amorosa. Meses más tarde, la chica aparece asesinada en el diván de la consulta. Demasiados sospechosos: el psicoanalista, su mujer, la propia Kate Fansler... ¿Podrá con todos el pintoresco psicoanálisis policial de la detective? Professor Kate Fansler spends her days teaching English literature to graduate students and researching 19th Century authors, but that does not mean she isn’t sociable and au courant with contemporary life. When one of her students asks her for a referral to a psychoanalyst, she sends the young woman to her friend and ex-lover Emmanuel Bauer, but when seven weeks later the woman is found dead on Dr. Bauer’s therapy couch, Kate knows she must investigate, for the police are surely ready to assume that the most obvious suspect is the killer…. The Kate Fansler books were written between the 1960s and early 2000s, by an author who herself was a university professor and feminist scholar (real name Carolyn Heilbrun), but I had never come across them until a friend recently recommended this series to me. I liked the intellectual content of this book, the first in the series, in that the author assumes a certain level of education in her readers, but at the same time this is by no means a dry academic tome, instead it sparkles with wit and humour. I don’t know if the secondary characters here (Dr. Bauer and his wife, and Reed Amhearst, Assistant District Attorney) will be present in future books, but I hope so as I like them all and they work well together in the sleuthing business; recommended! It has been more than a decade since the last time I read the series of which this is the first, and the reread has been an odd and interesting experience. Many of the details and attitudes are dated but dated in a way that made me think at least as much as they irked me. I enjoy being bombarded by the constant literary allusions and I enjoy the baroque prose. I will keep this book as long as the poor paper holds together and hope that there is an ebook version available by the time it disintegrates. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

When beautiful Janet Harrison asks English professor Kate Fansler to recommend a Manhattan psychoanalyst, Kate immediately sends the girl to her dear friend and former lover, Dr. Emanuel Bauer. Seven weeks later, the girl is stabbed to death on Emanuel's couch--with incriminating fingerprints on the murder weapon. To Kate, the idea of her brilliant friend killing anyone is preposterous, but proving it seems an impossible task. For Janet had no friends, no lover, no family. Why, then, should someone feel compelled to kill her? Kate's analytic techniques leave no stone unturned--not even the one under which a venomous killer once again lies coiled and ready to strike. . . . Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
