Sara is a Psychologist and Sigurd is an architect, and they are living in a house that has been gifted to them by Sigurd’s mother when her father (Sigurd’s grandfather died). Needing a great deal of renovation, the house is in a bit of a state, to say the least, but work has halted due to lack of funds and because Sigurd is so busy at work. One morning Sigurd kisses Sara goodbye and heads off for a weekend away with his friends...never to return!
The novel follows the police investigation, which arises after Sigurd’s disappearance and we become involved with Sara’s life as she becomes paranoid that someone is breaking into her house and following her as she tries to continue with her life. Throughout the story, we are introduced to Sara’s sister Annika, who is there for her every step of the way, and their father, who appears to be somewhat of a mysterious academic!
Helene Flood included many tiny sub-sections to the story which hardly seemed relevant at the time of reading but all came together as the novel progressed as we begin to understand the whys, where’s and what-ifs.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Therapist, the author kept me guessing right until the end, and there were so many plot twists I wasn’t sure what would come next.
As a thriller, The Therapist isn’t the fastest paced book I’ve read, but it was far from boring, keeping me entertained from beginning to end.
