Michael Robotham explains:
From The Suspect, I jumped four books to Bleed For Me and it still leaves me praising Robotham for his intelligent writing and all its dark psychological twists which will make you wonder about society and the dynamics of family relationships today. How much is fact and how much of it is a figment of the author's imagination? Well...
This book features the psychologist Professor Joseph O'Loughlin, a Parkinson's sufferer, who now lives apart from his wife and two daughters and lectures part-time at Bath University. One victim, two suspects, one possible suspect, one sinister fellow who lurks in the background, one tortured dog, an attempted murder on the protagonist - what is the connection between them all and the glue that holds them together?
Bleed For Me has been shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Award 2010 for Best Crime Novel. You can follow the author on Twitter, add him as a friend on Facebook and last but not least, pay a visit to his official website for more information on this book. Just do not hesitate to read it. It is a bleeding good thriller - I have lost some sleep on this.
This review by a UK-based journalist, writer and lecturer is mainly positive but picks on the editing of the book.
You might want to read An Interview With Michael Robotham conducted by a book blogger shortly after the release of this book last year.
