![]() ![]() He wants a child of his own rather than adopting and gives Frieda great detailed descriptions of his fantasy child, down to the hair color and build. To add to it, he and his wife Carrie are having trouble conceiving a child. He is on the verge of a breakdown and anxious all the time about so many things in his life. ![]() The short gist of it is he is an emotional mess. This book introduces us to Frieda’s latest client, a troubled man named Alan Dekker. I like her organizational method to approaching….anything. I like her rituals such as laying the fire in the morning so she can start a fire each evening when she returns home. Her mind never seems to shut down and so she walks the streets of London at night until she is weary. ![]() She isn’t a warm character but I like her. It takes a while to get started, it moves rather slowly at first while you get to know the characters but, in my opinion, the character development is worth it. This book is the start of the Frieda Klein series and it begins in 1987. But I was so taken with the story and characters that I decided I would grab book 1 and read the beginning, even if I do have a few spoilers along the way. As I mentioned before, I started with book 7 – yeah, brilliant. ![]()
