Max and Oskar solve a series of murders--not all by the same person, but several with an ingenious weapon: a hatpin inserted at the base of the brain. Interesting how the author wove together the various strands of the plot through his mixture of police work and psychology in this complex story and how all strands came together. Sometimes the psychoanalytical angle was a bit above me though. ( ) Someone in 1903 Vienna is murdering young women in a most bizarre fashion: during the act of love, the lady is dispatched with the use of an almost undetectable hat pin. Psychiatrist Max Liebermann and police detective inspector Oskar Reinhardt pursue different paths to discover the identity of the mad man, Liebermann by trying to determine, through psychoanalytic ideas, what type of individual would do such a thing and Reinhardt by slow, steady and steadfast police work, with the occasional flash of insight. But time is running out; the royal household has learned of this situation and is threatening to bring in the big guns to solve the mystery if our heroes donât move fastâŠ. "Vienna Twilight" is the fifth volume of Frank Tallisâs âThe Liebermann Papers,â which are all set in this fascinating city at a fascinating time; Freud himself is among the characters to appear now and then, and concepts such as âreform dressesâ (free-flowing dresses for women which free them from the constraints of corsets) are being hotly debated in the streets. Meanwhile, the friendship between Max and Oskar continues to deepen; in previous reviews, I failed to mention that despite coming from completely different backgrounds, they become friends because of their shared love of music, Max in playing the piano and Oskar in singing the rich lieder of the times. But however they came together, the combination of these two individuals creates one of the most interesting, and intriguing partnerships in modern mystery writing; recommended, but read the previous four books before tackling this one! Ăros et Thanatos, passion de la mort, mort par la passion... voilĂ le thĂšme de cette enquĂȘte qui nous mĂšne au cĆur de Vienne au dĂ©but du XXe siĂšcle. Peut-ĂȘtre moins ancrĂ©e historiquement que les volumes prĂ©cĂ©dents, elle nous entraĂźne cependant Ă redĂ©couvrir les artistes de la SĂ©cession, les cafĂ©s, la musique, et les thĂšses de Freud qui aideront Ă rĂ©soudre l'Ă©nigme. Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt is looking for a murderer. The first known victim is a young blonde with a less than perfect reputation. His method of murder is unknown until it is accidently stumbled upon in the autopsyâŠshe was killed with a hatpin! When they find the seller of the hatpin, they know it is only a matter of time before another victim is found. Max Liebermann, a psychoanalyst and good friend of Rheinhardt is of the opinion the murderer is a sexual predator who gets his release from death. As the female victims had been âusedâ just before death, Rheinhardt is in agreement. Not only is Liebermann aiding the Inspector, but one of his patients may just be the key to the entire puzzle. Through the investigation, Rheinhardt and Liebermann meet some interesting characters. A painter with the clientele for paintings of nude young girls in provocative positions, an accountant certain that he is the victimâs only âclientâ and a father who readily let his daughter be âusedâ in various ways so the family could survive. Threads of other stories are cleverly woven in to the main story, but how it all comes together is a masterpiece. You will stay on your toes with this mystery!

Detective Inspector Oskar Reinhardt finds that young women are being slain in an unnervingâ??and ingeniousâ??manner, with a small, almost undetectable, hat pin. For Dr. Max Liebermann, the killer is unique in the annals of psychopathology, one who murders in the midst of consensual love. Is the culprit a patient, one who swears he has a double, a shadow figure that is far more forward (in fact, indecent) with women? As danger mounts, Liebermann must find the answer while struggling with his own forbidden desire for a female pa Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
