About this listen
The smash-hit bestseller: Winner of Richard and Judy's Best Read 2007, The Interpretation of Murder spent seven weeks at No. 1, three months in the top ten, and went on to sell over half a million copies. A dazzling literary thriller - the story of Sigmund Freud assisting a Manhattan murder investigation. Think Shadow of the Wind meets The Historian. The Interpretation of Murder is an inventive tour de force inspired by Sigmund Freud's 1909 visit to America, accompanied by protégé and rival Carl Jung.
When a wealthy young debutante is discovered bound, whipped and strangled in a luxurious apartment overlooking the city, and another society beauty narrowly escapes the same fate, the mayor of New York calls upon Freud to use his revolutionary new ideas to help the surviving victim recover her memory of the attack, and solve the crime. But nothing about the attacks - or about the surviving victim, Nora - is quite as it seems. And there are those in very high places determined to stop the truth coming out, and Freud's startling theories taking root on American soil.

Fiction meets Psychotherapy
A must for any psychology fan. I love fiction based on real people, it really brings the story to life. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending, something I don't say very often! Would definitely recommend.

Oedipus Oedipus Oedipus
The idea of using new psychological concepts to solve a murder in 1909 sounds good but that is not what this story does.
‘Freud’ is dropped into the plot but then does little except repeatedly go on about the Oedipus complex.
‘Jung’ does little except chat to witnesses while a detective (with a very annoying voice) solves the case.
Period NY detail is interesting and makes a good backdrop to events, but the quippy dialogue throughout is hugely distracting.
Ultimately the story was contrived and silly, centred around cardboard historical characters and freshman psychiatry.

Parts of the story are missing.
The is not the whole book. If you check it against a real copy it has A LOT of parts missing almost every other paragraph has been cut out of the audiobook it's so disappointing. It's over 500 pages long and it has been condensed down into a 6hr read. Hopefully this will give you an idea of exactly how much has been cut, I'll say it again... A LOT.
