Review of Deviancy
Posted: 10 May 2022, 01:58
[Following is a volunteer review of "Deviancy" by Rose Linderman, Psy.D..]
Deviancy by Rose Linderman Psy.D presents a crime-theme story about the efforts of a serial killer named Louis Weller who lives in Rockford City in covering up the evil he had committed in this city. Louis Weller is told as someone smart, intelligent, clever, and good at observing his surrounding. So far, he has always had good luck in escaping from his bad deeds. But will luck always be on his side? Is luck alone enough to cover up the crimes he committed in this city?
The author did a good job unfolding the stories on how the detective can finally identify Louis as a suspect. I love how each character has their own introduction chapter so that we, as a reader, can understand how important these characters are for the story development. The way the author narrates the relationship between Louis and each character also makes the story feels more engaging for the reader. Besides that, there are several chapters that tell a story about the results of the forensic investigations conducted by dr. Kasson, a Psychologist, inserted between the main stories in this novel. These chapters are interesting to read because the reader can get a new insight about how certain behaviors that are typically found in the criminal suspect are usually related to untreated past traumas that have happened to them which caused mental instability that leads to behavior that harms other.
However, the suspense that manages to be created in the first half of the book slowly decreases as we enter the second half of the book. The ending is also not satisfactory to read.
I found quite a lot of grammatical errors and wrong usage of punctuation and quotation marks. There are also inconsistencies in naming the characters, such as Louis (page 7) written as Lewis (page 4), Henri (page 11, first paragraph) written as Henry (page 11, third paragraph), and Anne (page 4) written as Ann (page 5). For these reasons, I give this novel a 3 out of 4 stars
I recommend this book to people that love to read a story about crime and psychology. This book should be read by an adult due to the content of this book shows a description of sexual assault and violence that might be triggering for some people to read.
