    The Next Big Thing
  

*by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2011*

I've said before that Michael Robotham is the next big thing--an Australian who writes about England with authority.  In one novel he studies the rivers and sewers beneath London, an incredible tour de force.  One problem (noted by other reviewers) is that Robotham is truly an international writer, with books that appeal to all but are not published everywhere.  Just remember--Amazon UK and British booksellers charge modest shipping fees; don't hesitate to get former Robotham novels that way.  His next book, coming out in June, is a Vincent Ruiz novel, published by Mulholland, Little Brown's new crime imprint.  Perhaps that means he's found an American publisher for the long haul.  Let's hope so, because he's an A list writer.Bleed for Me is a Joe O'Loughlin book, with an extended appearance by Vincent Ruiz.  O'Loughlin is a psychologist living in Bath, teaching part-time.  He is afflicted by Parkinson's and his marriage has disintegrated.  Ruiz is a retired copper from the Met.  He and O'Loughlin's paths crossed in the past and they make an exceptional team, the one blunt and physical, the other more cerebral and frail.In Bleed for Me Joe's daughter's best friend has been accused of murdering her father.  She appears to be the victim of abuse, perhaps at the hands of her father, perhaps at the hands of a charismatic but unctuous teacher.  Simultaneously, Joe's wife Julianne is translating (literally) at the trial of three skinhead types, accused of firebombing the home of a family of asylum seekers.  As Joe investigates, it appears that the cases are related, principally because of the appearance of a prison-tear-tattooed thug called 'the crying man'.This is a long book, but the pages fly by, even though much of the plot is character-driven and the atmospherics are very textured.  Robotham combines the British (Val McDermid, e.g.) tendency toward more leisurely narratives, filled with description and undergirded by a strong sense of place with the more urgent ethos of the American crime and suspense novel.  While that appears to be a contradiction, readers of Robotham will know what I mean.  He manages to capitalize on the strengths of each narrative style.While the plot of Bleed for Me is complex, the narrative is easy to follow, the characters are clearly differentiated and the ending is very satisfying, though the mood is somber and world-weary.  This is top crime fiction.  If you have not yet discovered Michael Robotham, prepare for a wonderful experience.

    The hapless psychologist
  

*by S***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2018*

My first Joe O’Loughlin book, on the heels of a text from my daughter, who usually lets her 6 yr old daughter pick a book out from the library for “mommy to read”. I’m sure she was imagining herself running like the girl on the cover of Bleed For Me.I don’t know how we’ve missed these books! Joe’s wife wants independence from Joe; Joe’s early-teen daughter wants independence from her parents; she also wants her baby sister to give her privacy; her best friend is sexually advanced, she cuts herself, has daddy issues and an emotionally absent mom; she also has an aggressive older brother, and a sister who was put permanently in a wheelchair by a boy that beat her when she put popcorn on his head.Joe is in the beginning years of Parkinson’s, so he doesn’t really see patients, but teaches at the local college; he is also asked to “help” on a murder investigation by police. However, I wondered all through the book why they asked for his help, because they treated his conclusions like opinions and his opinions like superstitions.Luckily, Joe has friends. He has friends, because he’s only mildly narcissistic (for a highly intelligent, successful man), just a trifle depressed about his failing health-marriage-family-career-future (like most of themselves, the Irish); and he’s humble. His life is far from perfect and he struggles for that balance between happiness and fruitfulness. He works hard to not judge others, even as he loses his temper, like anyone else (without a degree in psychology) who should know how to CONTROL HIMSELF.I really look forward Joe’s growth in life, but first, I have to catch up and see how he got this far!
