I couldn't put it down! Very well written, it makes you doubt the sanity of each and every character. You start to question what is real, down to each detail.
My only criticism is the number and length of chapters. The breaks actually got in the way after a while. ( )

Ni testigos ni pistas ni cadáver. Josy, la hija de doce años del conocido psiquiatra Viktor Larenz, desaparece en misteriosas circunstancias de la consulta del médico que la trata de una extraña enfermedad. Cuatro años después, Viktor, sumido en una profunda tristeza, se ha retirado a una remota casa en una isla del Mar del Norte. Allí lo localiza una hermosa desconocida que padece alucinaciones: ve constantemente a una niña pequeña, una niña que padece una enfermedad extraña y que desaparece de la consulta del médico sin dejar rastro. Viktor inicia entonces un tratamiento con la desconocida, pero la terapia se convierte paulatinamente en un dramático interrogatorio... ¿Es posible lo inconcebible? ¿Describen los delirios de Anna los últimos días de Josy?

I came across this book by way of Euro Crime, an information packed blog devoted to British and European crime fiction. I was scrolling through the list of authors sorted by their country of origin looking for something recent to read by a German writer. Sebastian Fitzek's Therapy was the lucky winner because I was able to request it through the Metropolitan Library System via my library's website with a simple click of my mouse. It arrived in two or three days. I love my library. I used to be a compulsive book buyer, but now I'm mainly a compulsive book-checker-outer at the library because 1) I'm in school and low on funds and 2) its free.

Therapy is an intense psychological thriller. After reading this book, I'll think twice about labeling other books as psychological thrillers. It's the story of famous psychotherapist Viktor Larenz's search for his missing daughter, Josephine or Josey, and his own process of grief and betrayal. Josey disappeared four years ago from a doctor's office where her father dropped her off. She had been sick with an un-diagnosable illness and was going to see yet another specialist.

Viktor and his wife, Isabell, are coping with the disappearance in their own ways. Isabell seems to be throwing herself into her work whereas Viktor has slowly fallen apart. He's quit seeing patients, drinks too much, and hopes for the day an investigator will show up and tell him his daughter is dead, giving him closure. Isabell seems confident that Josey is alive; she may blame Viktor for Josey's disappearance. The action takes place in Berlin and Parkum, an island off Germany's coast in the North Sea, where Viktor has a cottage and to which he retreats to work on interview questions for Spiegel magazine that's due in a few days.

Shortly after Viktor's arrival at Parkum, the mysterious and pushy Anna Glass walks into his life wanting therapy sessions with him. He insists he's no longer seeing patients, but she's a writer who claims to suffer from a form of schizophrenia that piques his curiosity: the characters she creates come to life. But what keeps him talking with her, and violating his own professional standards, is that some of Anna's hallucinations seem to provide clues to Josey's disappearance.

Viktor gets in touch with Kai, the private investigator whose been working on Josey's disappearance, and he does some leg work on the possible clues Anna provides. Strange things start to happen as a storm brews on the North Sea: Viktor starts getting ill after seeing Anna, his dog disappears, the island's mayor warms him that Anna seems like trouble, and then there's the odd ways that Anna shows up. Is she really there for help or is she a danger to Viktor? Does she know something about Josey? Is Josey alive?

This is one of those books that's hard to talk about without giving away too much and I don't want to blow any plot twists for you. I highly recommend Therapy to those who like to be kept off balance by a good story.

Die Therapie ist ein wahrer Page-Turner. Auch wenn es mich nicht gleich vom Stuhl gehauen hat, so sass ich doch fast die ganze Zeit ganz vorne auf der Kante meines Lesesessels und fieberte den Antworten zu den vielen Fragen entgegen, die die Geschichte aufwirft.

Viktor Larenz als Hauptfigur fand ich wahnsinnig spannend; Der Psychiater der schon in einer der ersten Szenen in einer Anstalt ans Bett gefesselt ist, um einem anderen Psychiater seine Geschichte zu erzählen, verfehlte die Wirkung bei mir nicht. So pendelt die Geschichte zwischen der Gegenwart in der Anstalt und seiner Geschichte, die auf der kleinen Insel Parkum spielt fröhlich hin und her und wirft dem Leser fleissig Fragen vor die Füsse.

Zeit um über diese Fragen nachzudenken und Antworten zu suchen findet man aber kaum, zumindest wenn man wie ich Mühe damit hat, dass Buch aus der Hand zu legen. Das Erzähltempo ist auf den 336 Seiten durchgehend hoch und jedes Kapitel kann man ganz angespannt (tut mir leid, entspannen gibt’s hier nicht) in zehn Minuten oder weniger durchlesen. Da liest man doch gerne noch ein Kapitel mehr, bevor man das Buch wieder weglegt. Und noch eins. Und noch eins.

Der Plot ist ganz gut gelungen, offensichtliche Löcher sind mir keine aufgefallen, trotzdem hätten ein paar bestimmte Szenen, durchaus noch etwas mehr Potenzial gehabt. Über das Ende des Buches lässt sich bestimmt streiten. Mir persönlich hat das Ende des Plots ganz gut gefallen, trotzdem wäre hier ein besserer Abschluss durchaus möglich gewesen – wer mit zu hohen Erwartungen den letzten Seiten entgegen fiebert könnte durchaus enttäuscht werden. Alles in allem hat das Buch aber erreicht, was ich von einem Thriller erwartet habe: Kurzweilige Unterhaltung, fröhliches Raten und die Erfüllung einiger Klischees. Die Geschichte hielt aber auch ein paar nette Überraschungen bereit und bietet durchaus etwas mehr als «nur» Hochspannung.

Mit vier Sternen empfehle ich den Doktor Viktor Larenz gerne weiter. ( )
