Intriguing, quick read. The writer captured my attention quickly and held it through out the book. It was a strange story, and a few parts I could guess were happening, but there were many surprises as well.

When Viktor Larenz returns with a filled glass of water to the waiting area at his daughters doctor she's gone without a trace. Now 4 years later Viktor lives on a remote island in his summer cottage. Still dealing and suffering from not knowing what happened to his daughter he tries to cope with what happened while filling out a questionnaire for a magazine. Once a famous psychiatrist the public is still interested in him.
When Anna Spiegel enters his life he reluctantly agrees to work with her, who claims that every person she creates in her books enters her live in real and usually dies. It doesn't take long until Viktor realizes that Anna's describing disturbing things from his daughters life and his own.

Suffering from an illness he can't fathom yet, he tries to concentrate on Anna's words but, while pumped with Aspirin and other cold fighting medications when he begins making mistakes that do have their consequences.

What an interesting novel for a than new author. The Therapy has just been translated from German into English so I can only talk from the German writing style point of view which was short and to the point. Fitzek didn't use much words on fuss but also managed to keep me reading the book in a very short amount of time.
The reader is in for some surprises here. Even if you think you already figured everything out, I'm certain there are things you will miss and with the book finished you're going to ask yourself how you could have possibly missed that.
Enjoy !
