Crimson Souls

I'm all for a good thrill but this one doesn't provide it. The premise had me intrigued but the execution fails to deliver and it disappoints at every chapter. Nor is the dialogue anything to celebrate: “Lucid? You are a piece of work, Mrs. Redgate. He suffers from paranoid delusions of schizophrenia - brought on by being married to you, no doubt... You've been free of him ever since you dropped him off in my care.” “F**k you, Doctor.” “Not a chance in hell, lady.” Doesn't exactly scream Doctor/Patient dialogue that is riveting. I had just read, “A Little Life” and was looking for something less dense, more entertaining - but this was far too on the other end of the spectrum.
