Mark Laurence Latowsky's "House of Giral" is a compelling psychological thriller. It centers on Jennifer's battle with her history and the contentious psychotherapeutic therapies administered by Dr. Young. Deep, unsettling thriller aficionados will love it for its eerie, cryptic tone and knowledge about psychedelics.

Info dumping can really kill a book, especially a mystery. But psychedelics are an interesting and promising area of mental health. And I love a dark mystery. Too bad the author didn't nail the ending.The pace of narration in the first half of the book was perfect. However, the mystery had resolved way too early and what followed was just some good guys chasing the bad guys. There was no new information coming towards the end of the book and the story seemed a bit dragged. Instead of the snappy, sharp end that the story demanded, there were long-drawn descriptions that felt boring and unimagined. It felt like the author was trying to pour all the scientific information available on psychedelics, which brought down the entertainment quotient for me.
Thank you for such an honest review!
