Dr. Eric Parrish is the Chief of the Psychiatric Unit at Havemeyer General Hospital outside of Philadelphia. Recently separated from his wife Alice, he is doing his best as a single Dad to his seven-year-old daughter Hannah. His work seems to be going better than his home life, however. His unit at the hospital has just been named number two in the country and Eric has a devoted staff of doctors and nurses who are as caring as Eric is. But when he takes on a new patient, Eric's entire world begins to crumble. Seventeen-year-old Max has a terminally ill grandmother and is having trouble handling it. That, plus his OCD and violent thoughts about a girl he likes makes Max a high risk patient. Max can't turn off the mental rituals he needs to perform every fifteen minutes that keep him calm. With the pressure mounting, Max just might reach the breaking point. When the girl is found murdered, Max is nowhere to be found. Worried about Max, Eric goes looking for him and puts himself in danger of being seen as a "person of interest" himself. Next, one of his own staff turns on him in a trumped up charge of sexual harassment. Is this chaos all random? Or is someone systematically trying to destroy Eric's life? New York Times best selling author Lisa Scottoline's visceral thriller, Every Fifteen Minutes, brings you into the grip of a true sociopath and shows you how, in the quest to survive such ruthlessness, every minute counts.

The synopsis pulled me in, but in the end, I just didn't feel like the novel delivered. I definitely wouldn't classify it as a "psychological thriller".

My thoughts are all over the place on this one, but I‘m giving it a pick because I really wanted to read how it resolved - and just who was the sociopath (I guessed wrong). There was a lot, maybe too much, going on for the MC though. Let‘s see, I‘m counting at least 5 significant reasons to lawyer up - that‘s gonna hurt the pocketbook!

This book had me from the start, and I was kept guessing the identity of the mysterious sociopath throughout most of the book. I enjoyed reading it but found that the ending was left wanting. It just didn‘t seem plausible or believable.

This is the first book I read by this author and I really enjoyed it. It was well thought out and researched. I liked all the sub plots and how everything came together and this definitely kept me guessing until the end.

Not what I thought it would be from the summary. Wordy, and predictable outcome.

I really enjoyed this! A psychiatrist ends up being a suspect in a crime because of one of his patients. It was a double twist at the end and I didn't see either coming!

Sigh. I had this on my TBR list, so I was happy when it turned up as this month's selection for my library's mystery #bookclub but was disappointed once I started reading it. The characters were two-dimensional, and they were doing things that seemed to make sense only to serve the plot. I went to the meeting anyway and didn't hear anything in the discussion to make me want to finish reading it. 🙁

Susanita There was also an error in a plot point-minor point but annoying error nonetheless. 8y

As always, Scottoline delivers. Eric, a psychiatrist going through a divorce, tries to help Max, a teen boy struggling with the loss of his grandmother. All of a sudden, Eric finds himself accused of crimes, including murder. One of my favorite authors. Teen rating

First book by Lisa Scottoline I've read. Loved this book and her writing style. Will definitely read more of this author in the future.
