Shatter

A naked woman in red high-heeled shoes is perched on the edge of Clifton Suspension Bridge with her back pressed to the safety fence, weeping into a mobile phone. Clinical psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin is only feet away, desperately trying to talk her down. She whispers, 'you don't understand,' and jumps. Later, Joe has a visitor - the woman's teenage daughter, a runaway from boarding school. She refuses to believe that her mother would have jumped off the bridge - not only would she not commit suicide, she is terrified of heights. Joe wants to believe her, but what would drive a woman to such a desperate act? Whose voice? What evil?

Betyg

Jag har sagt det tidigare: Robotham skriver bra. Som alltid när det handlar om psykisk tortyr blir jag illa berörd, det kryper under skinnet på mig och oroar. Men det är bra, spännande och det är ju bara att hoppa över de partier som känns alltför "närgångna". Betyget är eg. 3,5 men det går fortfarande inte att sätta.
