A shadow. A murder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pathological liar? Sociopathic killer? Or just a troubled kid seeking attention? These are the questions that haunt therapist Selena Harris as she undertakes the most challenging case of her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sitting on a couch two feet across from her is an ordinary-looking teenager who confessed in a text, inadvertently broadcast to his entire school, to murdering an autistic child left in his care. With no evidence to support Leal Porter\u2019s testimony, authorities have referred him to Selena for counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Challenging her professional distance is the emotional bond she develops with this lonely, isolated boy, whom classmates describe as \u201cthat scrawny kid who talks to himself at his locker.\u201d Although Selena believes the alleged victim is the product of her client\u2019s fevered imagination, she harbors one major doubt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>What if she\u2019s wrong?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selena can relate to Leal\u2019s feeling of isolation, especially as she has returned to her small hometown on the heels of a divorce to take care of her father, who has suffered a debilitating stroke. In Leal\u2019s case, however, he\u2019s a school outcast due to his predisposition to tell tall tales to worm his way out of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stepping outside the confines of her office in a quest for clues, Selena is determined to separate fact from fiction. But nothing in her experience prepares her for the harrowing revelation of the inner demon that lurks beneath the surface of Leal\u2019s confession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katherine Burkman, author of&nbsp;<em>April Cruel<\/em>, writes: \u201cWhat is fascinating about&nbsp;<em>An End to Etcetera<\/em>&nbsp;is the nature of the relationship between a psychologist and her thirteen-year-old patient. As a whodunit, we are not sure of what has been done or who is responsible, as we watch both patient and therapist evolve. Extremely well-written, the suspense involves more than that in your usual mystery, since it is the mystery of life itself. The writing pulls you in and won&#8217;t let you go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars.png\" alt=\"5 stars\" class=\"wp-image-7354\" width=\"256\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars.png 512w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"review\"><strong>The Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">B. Robert Conklin unfurls a narrative around a fascinating cast of characters, among them a troubled teenager, Leal, and his therapist, Selena. Their story intricately weaves through an unnerving maze of truth and illusion, their professional relationship serving as a dramatic backdrop for exploring these elusive themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each character brings a layer of intrigue. Selena Harris, despite her personal struggles, exudes a relentless humanity in her quest to help Leal, a character shrouded in mystery and charm. Their interplay creates a sense of unease that pervades the novel, pushing both readers and characters alike to question the authenticity of their depicted reality. The plot spirals towards a climax filled with unexpected twists, turning the narrative into a compelling exploration of motive and truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book, despite its somewhat exaggerated conclusion, leaves a lingering impact. Conklin&#8217;s narrative successfully blends suspense with deep psychological insight. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JYAUOP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">An End to Etcetera<\/a><\/em> stands out as a thoughtfully written tale that effortlessly keeps readers on their toes, immersed in a constant state of uncertainty. Its unique character interactions, layered narrative, and the relentless pull of its intriguing plotline ensure a captivating read from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am a student of both psychology and epistemology, that is the study of the mind and the study of knowledge.
