Unlike some other reviewers, I was totally off in my guess of the actual killer. Knowing this was Sheldon’s first attempt at writing did not make the story any less interesting for me. Compared to his later works, it is not as multifaceted a mystery, but the plot will hold the reader until it unwinds at the conclusion.

Judd Stevens is a top-notch psychoanalyst and out of nowhere, a patient and his trusted secretary are murdered. He becomes a target as well (without the slightest inkling as to why anyone would have a reason to kill him) and escapes only by default. Hiring a private investigator becomes a questionable issue as well as wondering if he can trust the lead detective on the case, McGreavy, who doubts Judd’s every move.

Fearing for the well being of his patients as well as himself and his sanity, he must get to the bottom of this mystery. I was completely taken back by the discovery of the murderer - would have never guessed. While “The Naked Face” does not have the intensity of Sheldon’s later novels, it is still a very good read.
