Interpretation Toward Books A Death in Vienna (Liebermann Papers #1)
AKA Mortal MischiefTuhan, ampuni aku atas apa yang telah kulakukan. Di dunia ini memang ada pengetahuan yang terlarang. Ia akan membawaku ke neraka—dan tak ada jalan untuk bertobat.
Pesan yang mirip surat bunuh diri ini ditemukan di dekat tubuh Charlotte Löwenstein, wanita medium misterius yang ditemukan tewas dengan luka tembak di ruangan yang terkunci dari dalam. Tak ditemukan senjata, tak ada jejak peluru. Benarkah dia bunuh diri? Mungkinkah itu pembunuhan supernatural? Adakah hubungannya dengan badai besar pada malam itu dan Seth, dewa kehancuran—dewa badai dan kejahatan?
Dengan ketajaman analisisnya, psikiater muda Max Liebermann membantu sahabatnya, Inspektur Oskar Rheinhardt, memecahkan misteri kematian itu.
Kedua tokoh ini mengajak kita menjelajahi Wina, kota eksotik Eropa yang kaya dengan seni, filsafat, musik, dan sains dalam seri The Liebermann Papers.

An elegant mystery that will appeal to lovers of both history and historical fiction!Turn of the century Vienna - at the time, the social, cultural and scientific centre of a Europe rapidly entering the modern world of the twentieth century - serves as the setting for Frank Tallis' debut historical mystery - a provocative, head-scratching locked room mystery. The very deceased and brutally murdered body of the colourful and beautiful medium Fräulein Löwenstein has been found in her apartments -I enjoyed this detective novel set in Freud's Vienna. Main characters are Detective Rheinhardt and psychologist Dr. Max Liebermann, both on the forward edge of innovations in their fields. The psychologist applies "talk therapy," hypnotism and dream analysis to unravel clues, working with the detective and his sidekick. Freud has a cameo and is presented with respectful humor. Most interesting is the setting of the book in turn-of-the-19th-century Vienna, including its growing anti-Semitism,
Theres lots to like about A Death in Vienna (also published as Mortal Mischief). The plot is cleverly conceived and well executed, with a couple of substantial subplots that add, rather than detract, from the story. The locked room element of the story is well realised and Tallis does a good job of keeping various suspects in the frame. The characterisation is nicely executed with respect to all the principle and secondary characters, with Rheinhardt and Liebermann being nice, complementary
Early in 2020, I watched a PBS TV mini-series entitled A DEATH IN VIENNA. While watching the series I discovered that it was based on books by author FRANK TALLIS. I have now read the first book featuring Max and his circle of friends and family (see above). There are at least seven books in the series. Thank you for the great fun. I visited Vienna in 2016 and it was nice to see, again, some of the places I visited at that time.Dr. Max Liebermann is young psychoanalyst living in Vienna early in
Author Frank Tallis, who is also a psychologist , has set his crime novel in early 1900's Vienna, where the emotionally repressed sat side by side with the modernist crowd in coffee houses, eating apfelstrudel. With the luxury of hindsight it is easy to judge both the stuffy establishment with its sexism and antisemitism, and the bold innovators who let their freak flags fly to the point where every suitcase or jewel box represented a vagina. Freud himself makes an appearance, and our
It's 1902, Oskar Rheinhardt is investigating the murder of the beautiful medium, Frualine Charlotte Lowenstein in Vienna, Austria. The victim has been found shot in the heart in a room locked from the inside with what appears to be a suicide note, no weapon or secret means of egress are found. Rheihardt enlists the help of his good friend, Max Lieberman, who is a doctor of psychoanalysis. The medium's regular customers become an interesting circle of suspects. Frank Tallis has done a nice job of
This book was enjoyable to read, and I read it quickly about a month ago. When it came time to discuss it at a book group though I found I had to go back to it and re read parts because I had forgotten most of it. I prefer to read books that stay with me for years and don't mind struggling through them if they are dense rather than reading a book that I forget as soon as I put it down. Some in my bookgroup found that there were too many characters and subplots but did find it an interesting
