The Therapist | Helene Flood

Mini review by her: 9 July 2021

Nordic Noir at its best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Translated from Norwegian the Therapist offers a creepy atmospheric depiction of Norway

through the dark and brooding internal monologues of our main character Sara.

When Sara’s increasingly distant and detached husband plans a weekend with friends in a remote cabin but fails to turn up (despite his voicemail saying he had arrived!) Sara’s world and her sanity begins to fall apart. The novel develops as she examines her entire relationship with Sigurd she begins to doubt her own mind.

This books is definitely a slow burner but intentionally so and I loved the painstaking build toward the conclusion. It’s a big win for me and throughly deserving of the hype!

Thank you to Helene, NetGalley and @quercusbooks for the advanced copy, I devoured it! 💜
