Sidney Sheldon, a renowned, award winning, best-selling author departs from his usual fare for this delightful fast-paced story. His book, "TELL ME YOUR DREAMS,"" is based on a disputed subject of psychology, i.e. MPD - Multiple Personality Disorder. .
The story is about three young ladies, Ashley, Toni and Alette, working for a computer company in Silicon Valley, California. Ashley, who is the protagonist of this book, is a timid sweet girl who leads a normal life except for a luminous father, a famous doctor - Steve Patterson. Ashley feels she is the target of a stalker; Toni wants action in her life and frequently visits clubs to sing and play the piano during the entertainer's break; and Alette loves museums and dabbles in vivid-color paintings. All three have bizarre dreams.
Five men are murdered and mutilated and each of the three ladies is acquainted with one or more of the men, yet Ashley does not know Toni or Alette. When the identity of the murderer is revealed, I stopped, how did that happen? Somehow, I had missed the clues Sheldon dropped along the way in which I later caught up to as I read through the book over again. It was found that Ashley was the one that had committed all those murders. She had Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD).
The best part of the book deals with the trial and the revelation that the murderer has Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). The outcome of the trial, bizarre in many aspects, and the ensuing events brings to mind how difficult MPD is to diagnose and treat. "The book is based on actual facts,"" (p. 348 Sheldon, 1998). .
I must say this book is a brilliantly written book. The story is fascinating. Sheldon has taken up a very realistic concept. He makes an effort to educate us through this story. The deals with an MPD case which till today many psychologists have doubt about.
I like the fact that the focus is not the crime but the criminal.
