“Blue Monday leaves readers with the promise of intriguing tales to come.” (People, four-star review)

Internationally best-selling authors Nicci Gerard and Sean French, writing as Nicci French, have sold more than eight million copies of their books worldwide. But nothing they've written written before has grabbed the attention of reviewers and listeners like Blue Monday and its iconic heroine, Frieda Klein.

In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it a "superb psychological thriller...with brooding atmosphere, sustained suspense, a last-minute plot twist, and memorable cast of characters."

In Tuesday's Gone, a London social worker makes a routine home visit only to discover her client, Michelle Doyce, serving afternoon tea to a naked, decomposing corpse. With no clues as to the dead man's identity, Chief Inspector Karlsson again calls upon Frieda for help. She discovers that the body belongs to Robert Poole, con man extraordinaire. But Frieda can't shake the feeling that the past isn't done with her yet. Did someone kill Poole to embroil her in the investigation? And if so, is Frieda herself the next victim?

A masterpiece of paranoia, Tuesday's Gone draws listeners inexorably into a fractured and faithless world as it brilliantly confirms Frieda Klein as a quintessential heroine for our times.

TUESDAY’S GONE: A FRIEDA KLEIN MYSTERY. It is Book 2 in the series written by Nicci French. Nicci French is the pseudonym of English husband and wife team, Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, who write psychological thrillers together.
I am glad that I am reading the series in order, as many of the same characters and plot points from BLUE MONDAY (Book 1) reappear in a very sinister way.
I am getting more involved in Frieda’s personality and am very involved in her solitary, night time walks around London. Her knowledge of London’s history, especially of its rivers, is fascinating. The book has an exceptional ‘sense of place’ and one just soaks up the London atmosphere and quirks. TUESDAY’S GONE map (and Frieda’s walks) focus on the River Tyburn as it winds its way past Hampstead Heath, through Regent’s Park, eventually making its way into the Thames at Pimlico. The River Tyburn is one of London’s ‘lost rivers’ which flow mainly underground. Fascinating. I have been reading non-stop about these ‘lost rivers’. BLUE MONDAY’s map shows the meanderings of the River Fleet.
p.243 (Frieda) “Sometimes I think rivers and streams make people uncomfortable. They’re wet, they move, they bubble up out of the ground, they flood, they dry up. Better just to put them out of sight.”
TUESDAY’S GONE opens with a social worker making a routine visit to client Michelle Doyce, and finds her serving tea and biscuits to a naked, very dead, decomposing corpse. Clueless as to the corpse’s identity, DCI Karlsson asks Frieda for help.
I would describe TUESDAY’S GONE as very suspenseful, gritty, intelligent, interesting, detailed and thrilling.
Freida Klein is an excellent character - a brilliant psychotherapist, realistic, blunt, always thoughtful.
A thoroughly enjoyable thriller - a Five Star read. *****
I can’t wait for Book 3 - the interesting characters, plots and ‘lost rivers’.

4.0 out of 5 stars Typically Satisfying Nicci French Read

I liked Blue Monday a lot; in fact, I've liked most of the books written by this husband and wife team. Characters are always interesting, humanly flawed, well developed; and plots twist and turn this way and that, making it difficult for even the most detail-oriented reader to guess what's going to finally happen. Although this one did not provide quite as much of a surprise punch as Blue Monday, it was certainly an enjoyable read. The Nicci French team is the British version of Patricia Cornwell. Frieda Klein, psychotherapist, sometimes police consultant is, like Kay Scarpetta, smart, interesting, strong willed, likeable, and annoying all in the same breath. Both characters obsess over their numerous relationships and their professional effect on others. Both have an obsession that relieves the tensions of their professional lives -- Scarpetta's cooking, Klein's walking. Both provide an endless amount of fuel for yet another fire, and this book sets the reader up quite nicely for the next entry in the series. I'm looking forward to the forthcoming "Wednesday" edition. Don't try to skim quickly through this book. Stop and consider the numerous characters and the details, the changing point of view, or you'll surely miss something along the way and find yourself puzzled or searching frantically back for what you missed. If you're a Cornwell fan, you'll love the Nicci French offerings as well.

Dr. Frieda Klein is a London psychotherapist introduced in  Blue Monday: A Novel , a story that brought other characters to the canvas, like police detective Karlsson. The back story from the first novel reverberates periodically in  Tuesday's Gone , another thriller that opens with a murder. But not just any murder. The victim himself is an unknown entity, which makes finding the killer even more challenging. And when his body is discovered in the flat of a mentally ill woman, there is very little remaining evidence to go on. For poor Michelle Doyce has been sitting with the body for some time, in a state of confusion.

Who is the victim known to them initially as Robert Poole, a con man? He has stolen someone else's identity, and as the police zero in on who some of his victims were, they learn a lot more about him--except who he really is and who killed him. They learn how he listens to those he victimizes; he gives them his full attention, something each of them needs desperately.

As in the previous book, Dr. Klein is acting as a consultant to the police, but in these cost-cutting times, it looks like her days of assisting may be numbered. And the attitude of the other detectives (other than Karlsson) are resentful. Sometimes her job is made more difficult by these attitudes.

In the process of untangling the very elusive strands that might knit the case together into a useful shape, we meet some intriguing characters. Those who show us bits and pieces of how they fit into Robert Poole's world.

But who is the nameless woman huddled on a barge, waiting for someone's return? Why is she still there, when she could go? What is she waiting for? And how does she play a role in the mystery?

Like a giant jigsaw puzzle with intricate pieces that must go together in just the right way, we gradually come to understand what at first seemed unknowable. But the danger will mount, putting everyone in peril before we find the answers.

I like Frieda Klein. She is elusive, mysterious, and clever. She is also hiding her own past secrets. Will her history keep her from finding that true feeling of home, or will she continually walk the streets of London at night until she works out her own puzzle?

I could not put this book down. And just when I realized that not all the answers would be forthcoming, I knew that there will have to be another book in this series. And I can't wait! Five stars.

This is the second in the Frieda Klein series by Nicci French – one of my favourite authors. I came a little late to this series, only having discovered it recently, but my aim is to read them all as they are so well written and so very interesting. Set in London, it would appear the writing duo have done a decent amount of research into the history of the city as there are facts scattered throughout the book as Frieda goes on her many walks.

The idea of a psychotherapist helping the police to solve crimes is probably not a unique one, however the character of Klein is complex and mystifying and the reader feels immersed in her techniques. With plenty of frustrating scenarios, tricks, twists and turns along the way, this story kept me awake long into the night with a book that I found hard to put down. Like the first in this series, I was pleased to discover the ending was never really tightly tied down with plenty to lead us into the next one, where once again I hope we will join the adventures of Frieda and all her friends – especially Josef who originally seemed like an accidental addition, but who now has a place firmly in my heart.
