#Vienna blood novels series

I really enjoyed seeing how psychoanalyst theory was applied to solve the case as well as to treat a young woman. My thoughts: I really enjoyed this murder mystery from the beginning I thought I had one aspect worked out and I was so pleased with myself until we got to the end and it turned out I was wrong. When Liebermann attempts to get to the bottom of the mystery, he also must decide whether he is to follow his father’s advice and marry the beautiful but reserved Clara. Liebermann’s good friend Oskar Rheinhardt is a Detective Inspector - hard working but lacking Liebermann’s insights and forensic eye, and so it is through Rheinhardt that Liebermann is called upon to help with police investigations surrounding the death of a beautiful young medium in what seems at first to be supernatural circumstances. Psychoanalysis is still developing and is viewed with a mixture of excitement and suspicion. The world of 1900s Vienna is one where philosophy, science and art flourish and are hotly debated in the coffee shops.

I don’t normally watch TV but while my hubby channel hopped a trailer caught our eyes at the end of the trailer hubby said “have you read that then” to my horror I had not, a situation I quickly remedied in time for the first show (I have only read the first book)
