A Death in Vienna: A Novel (Mortalis)

Frank Tallis

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007

Thanks to the Economist
I picked up this book after reading a short review in the Economist and enjoyed every second of it. The mystery is well done. It has the mark of the English mysteries where the suspects are a small group of people, each of whom is interesting. The crime was ingenious and the detective work is fascinating. The real strength of the book, however, is the setting in Vienna in 1902. We see ...

A Death in Vienna

Frank Tallis

Grove Press, 2006

Unique dectection method in charming period piece
Just as the dark moods and buoyant spirits of London of the late 19th century contrast in the narratives of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, so does the pomp and gloss of imperial majesty scrape up against the black, sordid underbelly of Vienna in Tallis' fin de siecle mystery. The star of the piece is a young Jewish doctor interested in the fledging discipline of psychiatry. He ...

Love Sick: Love as a Mental Illness

Frank Tallis

Da Capo Press, 2005

The truth
Tallis writes on the biological and psychological truth on "romantic" love, even though most people don't want to hear it. This book is an academically sound work on the evolutionary psychology of humans and "romantic" love (that it's purpose is procreation and survival of the species). Procreation is so important for a species that that's why when we "fall in love", many basically act psychotic ...

Arrow, 2006

Buyer beware . . .
This is a well-written and interesting mystery, but be aware that "Mortal Mischief" and "A Death in Vienna" are the same book! One is the British title, the other the title used in the States. Don't buy both.

Efforts to identify and classify the unconscious mind
Hidden Minds is a history of the unconscious offering the non-specialist general reader with a fine synthesis which argues that the unconscious is one of the three big ideas of modern science. It may have lost favor recently, but new research in neuroscience and psychology has supported not only the concept of the unconscious mind, but identified its importance in psychology and the arts.

Here, leading clinical psychologist, Dr Frank Tallis, explores our age-old preoccupation with love and in particular romantic love.
