Friday on My Mind: A Frieda Klein Mystery

As revealed in the blurb, Frieda is suspected of murder and has gone on the run to find the real murderer. I am not buying the setup. The case against her is so weak, it is preposterous that the cops would arrest her and stop looking for anybody else.

The hook of the mysterious killer/protector who haunts Frieda Klein is getting a bit stale. For goodness sake, it's been years, yet he's still out there, and Frieda still doesn't know where he is, and the police never seem to catch him, even though he has killed multiple times for Frieda. And they still don't believe her.

Yet, given all that, the characterisations are strong. The pace is excellent, and one just can't stop listening. Frieda, herself, is a masterful and memorable character.

how did i finish it? with great trouble not wanting to waste the money. wish i'd moved on. awful, just awful.

Twists and turns galore.

The psychological insight into human behavior. Frieda is maddening sometimes but always fascinating. All the characters are well defined. They are people I'd like to know.

I'm totally hooked on this series. Can't wait for the next book.

I really enjoy this series by Nicci French. It has a nice mix of psychology and crime. I don't, however, like the narrator. For the first time in a very long experience with Audible, I have had to reduce the speed of narration to avoid a very shrill voice. I also find too little differentiation between female voices. Male voices are lower than female, so one can tell men from women, but again, except for accented voices, it is very hard to tell one from another.

I don't understand either why Audible doesn't have the Saturday book. If anyone knows, I'd be grateful if they explained it.

I have eagerly awaited the release of the next Dr. F. Klein book,
unfortunately this felt like a half-hearted attempt to move the story along. I just couldn't get past the implausibility that in the most heavily monitored with cameras city in the world, Our main character who is on the run from the law just strolls around going from interview to interview trying to solve the murder.
I did love being back in F's world and hope that the Carlson relationship takes off in the next book.

I enjoy this series for the most part but Frieda Klein is not exactly a likeable character. I think the other "regulars" in the book save this. And I think the "lady in distress" is starting to wear thin. Like the Helen Grace books, we have a heroine who is basically a victim of her own baggage.

It was short! 9 hours. It was an easy read.

She's good but takes a while to settle in. When the book first starts she's kind of annoyingly sing-song-y but then settles into the roles and starts to flow quite nicely. It's like that with every one of these.

I actually think about this a lot when I'm reading these because they almost seem like TV shows. Maybe Joanne Froggatt from Downton Abbey? I've seen her in other shows besides Downton Abbey and she is EXTREMELY versatile. She'd be believable as both a doctor and the object of desire.

No way, the story is so well performed by the reader.

The previous books of this series.

When Frida went to the hospital to see her patient.

I just sometimes hold my breath

I was captured - couldn't stop listening.

After the disappointment of the Thursday installment of the series, I began reading with some trepidation. My fears were soon dismissed by mid chapter one. Friday on My Mind is by far the best of the series. Hopefully, Saturday brings about more intrigue, and, perhaps, an end to the weekday thematic titles.

I always enjoy the Frieda Kline stories, but occasionally I get very irritated with what appear to be very foolish actions by a smart woman. In this entry, however, even what seemed foolish was quite rational. Great characters. Looking forward to "Saturday. "
