Who Killed Marcia Maynard by Alma h. Bond PHD

Title: Who Killed Marcia Maynard
Author: Alma H. Bond, PH.D.
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 978-0-595-45896-7
Genre: Mystery

A tale for the readers of psychological mysteries and suspense where a psychologist helps the police solve a particularly visious murder. In this case, the analyst and the policeman are lovers and both could become suspects in the murder. The victim was an old friend to both of them.

There are lots of twists and turns to this tale, lots of clues, red herrings and suspects with motives. How the killer gained access to the victim's apartment is just one part of the puzzle since there is a caretaker living with the victim.

Talented author Alma H. Bond has crafted a tale with interesting characters and genuine knowledge of the field of psychoanalysis due to her own practice in the field. It gives a realism to the tale without the exaggeration of some tales or tv shows.

More than one murder, plenty of mystery, a story that will have you wondering if the victim's profession offers a motive or clue to her death. This is a story that might also please anyone looking for a different kind of read, one that shows how analysis helps in the solving of a case and understanding the workings of the criminal mind.

A chance to learn from an expert as you enjoy the story as I did.
