The Interpretation Of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld

Set in turn-of-the-century New York, the novel follows a young psychoanalyst who becomes drawn into a series of erotic, ritualistic murders among the city’s elite; blending a murder-mystery with the rise of Freudian ideas, the story uses emerging psychoanalytic theory to untangle motives, secrets, and repressed desires while exposing the darker social and political tensions of the Gilded Age.
