A Private Life

CriticsCritics: 61
AudienceAudience: 5.7

After learning that a patient has died suddenly, a renowned psychiatrist suspects the death may not have been suicide. She begins a private investigation, drawing her ex-husband and an unusual group of allies into a mystery involving troubling clues, personal entanglements, and increasingly uncertain motives.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like rain-soaked mysteries, emotionally complicated investigations, and European intrigue such as The Night of the 12th; Not for you if you need deep characters or a fully satisfying payoff.
