A nimbly constructed story that starkly explores the dangers of neuroscience run amok. With shades of Philip K. Dick, a dystopian novel that probes the darker corners of the mind. Stanley Webb is in a bad way, as so many of his age: He’s in a memory ward, sinking into dementia, leaving his wife to tend single-handedly to a house that’s too large for her.

What prompted the need for some feel-good books? It was an exceptional book, but one that left me with a feeling of distress. Perhaps that’s the mark of a good thriller. Whatever it was, I followed it with two feel-good books to put me back on an even keel. This plot was particularly twisted. That’s something I should have remembered from reading “The Silent Patient,” several years ago. This acclaim from author David Baldacci is the first line in the Amazon description.

One of those rare triple-deckers that’s actually worth every page, every complication, every bead of sweat. A routine break-in at the home of Sûreté homicide chief Armand Gamache leads slowly but surely to the revelation of a potentially calamitous threat to all Québec.
