Dr Glass

By Louise Worthington

The perfect blend of thought-provoking ideas and dark, disturbing psychological thriller Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2021 Dr Glass follows Dr Emma-Jane Glass, a clinical psychologist. She has recently written an article about the psychology of matricide, and is interviewed on local radio. Shortly after, Emma-Jane begins receiving hate mail and then is kidnapped in this shocking psychological thriller. I am a big fan of Louise's work, having previously read her books Distorted Days, Rosie Shadow and her short story collection, Stained Glass Lives, so I was really excited to read Dr Glass! This story does have some trigger warnings for suicide, self-harm and murder. It's incredibly dark and a little disturbing at times, but a great read. Louise has an amazing way with words and writes beautiful, poetic prose that is always very evocative and moving. Dr Glass is no exception! Here is one of my favourite sections: She hears his grief, like ghosts playing in an orchestra. It's snowflakes, it's an avalanche, and it's a lightbulb popping. His grief is fierce, a sharp pain. Its huge is coloured by the nature of the deaths, premature: one suicide, one murder. Like a season stopped prematurely, from summer to autumn. Like a tree that has disrobed itself of leaves and colour having been in full life, full bloom, the sap rising. Rising.
