THE PATIENT'S SECRET by Loreth Anne White

I heard about this thriller in Publishers Weekly. Gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I appreciated how the author touched on class in a Canadian upper crusty suburb. The identity of the serial killer made sense, but some parts of the ending seemed to throw logic out with the recyclables. The death of the bohemian waitress didn't seem to make sense when her son kept quiet about some of the circumstances. Another thing I didn't like is that both the detective and the therapist went to great lengths to protect their families — I think the detective's behavior should have been a little different. But these are minor quibbles. You know it's a good book when you can't wait for the workday to end so you can crawl into your reading corner.
