“Medea’s Curse” by Anne Buist: Murder Mystery Starts with Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality) and then gets complicated
"This case, it is Dissociative Identity Disorder.”
“On what evidence?”
“We are not lawyers, Dr.King. Not evidence—history and mental state examination.”
“All right then, on what history and mental state findings?”
“Her postings on Facebook. This is most certainly dissociation. The vagueness and memory lapses are classical…”
“I’m not saying Georgia doesn’t dissociate, but she’s putting on an act” (1, p. 22).
Kirkus Review: “Overplotted and overdramatic; Buist’s heroine never seems to have a normal half-hour. But readers who aren’t put off by the unsparing accounts of women placed in extremis by themselves or wicked men will cheer the arrival of an authentic dragon slayer” (2).
