Editorial Book Review:
By Lilian Lilyfield
In "Closure," Garrett Addison creates a riveting psychological thriller that masterfully negotiates the thin line between justice from retribution and the terrible results of unresolved trauma. Anchored on a protagonist whose life teeters on the brink of anarchy, the book throws readers into a maze of doubt, guilt, and dark secrets.
Renowned author and clinical psychologist James Malter finds both his personal and professional life under close examination when a troubling trend among his terminally sick patients surfaces. Once under his loving treatment, these people start to kill others and commit suicide, which begs serious concerns about Malter's role. Driven by the knowledge that these victims are linked to the guy cleared of killing Malter's sister years earlier, the police direct their attention on him fast.
Malter's well crafted existence starts to fall apart as the body count mounts. The loss of his sister looms big, ready to ruin his job and damage his image. The story deftly negotiates Malter's inner conflict between his suppressed need for retaliation and his professional ethos of "moving on." The core of the book is this contradiction, which forces readers to consider the actual meaning of closure and the human inclination for retribution.
With each chapter building the suspense and intensifying the mystery, Addison's writing is crisp and engaging. Especially remarkable is Malter's psychological depth, which offers a thorough investigation of guilt, loss, and the need for justice. Additionally well-drawn, the supporting characters provide the developing drama layers of complexity.
"Closure" is a provocative analysis of the extent one might go to in order to find comfort for a past injustice, not only a thriller. Malter's personal grudge mixed with his professional knowledge produces an engaging and complex story that keeps readers wondering right up until the very end.
In "Closure," Garrett Addison has performed a tour de force combining psychological insight with suspenseful narrative to produce a book as intellectually exciting as it is emotionally compelling. Fans of psychological thrillers as well as anyone else curious in the complex dance between memory, morality, and the unrelenting search of truth should definitely read this book.
