The Case of Lisandra P.

The Case of Lisandra P. by Helene Gremillon is yet another book hyped as "the next Gone Girl", so of course I had to read it. 

Lisandra P. is dead and her psychoanalyst husband, Vittorio, has been arrested for her murder. One of his patients, Eva Maria, doesn't believe Vittorio could have killed her and sets out to help him prove his innocence. Her investigation takes the reader through fascinating taped sessions with Vittorio's patients and into the lives of people who knew Lisandra and who may have had motive to kill her. The taped sessions offer some of the novels best moments and show off Gremillon's ability to give each character a unique voice. 

This book is more than just a murder mystery - it is also a history lesson on some of the darkest moments in Argentinian history. The stories told are heartbreaking and chilling and the book is worth reading for the Miguel section alone. I will definitely be seeking out more by this author and am most likely going to find myself completely sucked into reading about the more recent history of Argentina...

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
