Briliantly Tense
I loved this book. I am someone who never reads, however someone had left this book at work and the cover got my attention, so on my lunch I decided to start reading away. After an hour when my lunch was up, I was gutted as I was so enthralled, all I wanted to do was finish it. The lead character is fantastic, a drink, drug and sex addicted psychiatrist, who would have thought someone who tries to help others sort their problems is so completely messed up themselves. I can't praise this book enough, although I think it is definitely more of a young lads read, I don't think women will relate as much to the main character. It is superbly written with exceptional attention to detail, the scenes are superbly described, you feel that you are sat at the bar watching this scruffy crazed bloke ask for a drink and yet it seems as though he has asked the barmaid every question you would want to know, and got all the answers. I can't wait to read it again. Buy it!

gripping, unputdownable thriller
I looked for this book after having read Keith Ablow for the 1st time when I bought "Compulsion", its sequel.
I found "Denial" could have been better paced throughout, as it gave me a sense of "cramming" too many threads into 1 book - in his 2nd novel I found Ablow had avoided doing this, and so I enjoyed it more.
Nevertheless "Denial" kept me up til the wee hours of the morning as I was caught up completely in the intrigue.

Introducing Frank
The first in the Frank Clevenger series from Keith Ablow, who himself is a pre-eminent psychologist. It really takes a shrink to know a mixed up person. Frank here chases all his personal demons (drugs, drink, gambling, sex) whilst trying to solve cases with the Police. In this first story, a lot of murders occur very close to Frank putting him and his close friends under suspicion. The ending itself is quite harrowing leaving a few ethical questions standing. A good read!
