I totally devoured this! I happened upon this series last year when I was doing a reading challenge and needed a book with a day of the week in it! The main character is a psychotherapist, Frida, who inadvertently becomes embroiled in a missing persons and murder investigation. In this second outing, I was fascinated by Frida as a character. She is aloof, very private but also caring. We learn she is cut off from her family but now why. It is her astute observations that keep the case open and help to solve it. I am fascinated by the psychotherapeutic process but also feel the situation in this book, where Frida becomes a freelance consultant to the police, with permission to almost take on the role of a detective with initiative, was stretching reality a bit. Also, she supervises a young psychotherapist who admits to being flaky and letting his clients down. At one point she encourages him to take on a particularly vulnerable client - again - an unlikely practise. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book so much that I can’t give it any less than a full 5 stars.
If you like psychological stories, this series could be for you! Recommended.

Alison S ☯️ This is a great series. I can highly recommend all the other "days" as well. I only have Sunday left, but I don't want to read it too soon as it will then mean I've reached the end of the series. I have also read some of Nicci French's one-off crime books and they are very good too.


Emma That’s really good to know! I’m going to have to eke this series out then!


Suzy Just finished this one and ditto to you "I totally devoured it."! I quoted you in my review cuz I couldn't have said it better. I want to devour the series, but as you said, I also need to eke it out.


Elisabeth Heien Just to inform those of you who are not awsre of this, there is an 8th book in the series, "wrapping" everything up, "Day of the Dead", so no weekday in the title. I loved this series so much that I actually "miss " Frieda....
