Statistics show that one in twenty-five
people is a sociopath, which may make you wonder if you’ve ever met one. This is
exactly what led Lisa Scottoline to pen her latest, “Every Fifteen Minutes.”
My review...
Doctor Eric Parish is well
respected at work and adored by his young daughter. His wife, on the other
hand, is looking to move on. His job as chief of the psychiatric unit is
promising. Yet things take a turn when he meets Max Jakubowski. Max is a high-risk
patient who is also dealing with OCD and obsessive, violent thoughts regarding
a girl he likes. When she is found dead, Max becomes a suspect… and so does
Eric. Along with his custody battle, Eric is now in a battle for his freedom,
as well as his life. Who is setting Eric up? Is Max as innocent as Eric
believes? This psychological suspense grabs the reader’s attention from the
first sentence and takes them inside the mind of a sociopath. Just when you
think you have all the twistS and turns figured out, you realize you’re wrong.
The complex plot and stunning conclusion are riveting and leave no doubt as to
why Scottoline is a top-selling author. Along the way, the story sheds light on
how mental illness is, unfortunately, not taken as seriously as physical
illness, though the two are closely linked.
