The Alienist
The Alienist: A Novel | Caleb Carr
The year is 1896, the place, New York City. On a cold March night New York Times reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned to the East River by his friend and former Harvard classmate Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist, or "alienist." On the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge, they view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy, a prostitute from one of Manhattan's infamous brothels.The newly appointed police commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, in a highly unorthodox move, enlists the two men in the murder investigation, counting on the reserved Kreizler's intellect and Moore's knowledge of New York's vast criminal underworld. They are joined by Sara Howard, a brave and determined woman who works as a secretary in the police department. Laboring in secret (for alienists, and the emerging discipline of psychology, are viewed by the public with skepticism at best), the unlikely team embarks on what is a revolutionary effort in criminology-- amassing a psychological profile of the man they're looking for based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who has killed before. and will kill again before the hunt is over.Fast-paced and gripping, infused with a historian's exactitude, The Alienist conjures up the Gilded Age and its untarnished underside: verminous tenements and opulent mansions, corrupt cops and flamboyant gangsters, shining opera houses and seamy gin mills. Here is a New York during an age when questioning society's belief that all killers are born, not made, could have unexpected and mortal consequences.From the Paperback edition.

This is a well written historical mystery of a serial killer set in NYC in 1896. I loved the details pertaining to criminology, psychology, profiling and forensics.

Centique This was one of my most favourite books in my 30s. I really loved the series too but I need to watch season 2. Have you watched it? 10mo
Rissreads @Centique I haven‘t watched it. I prefer to watch things I haven‘t read. (edited) 10mo
Centique @Rissreads fair enough. 👍 I quite like watching things after I‘ve read the book but I do need a gap of at least a few years so its not clashing with my memory of reading it. 10mo

DNF‘d at 19%.

I found Carr‘s writing dry, overly descriptive, more telling than showing, and detached. It read more like a report than a novel. I also couldn‘t connect with the characters.

I would read a few pages, put the book down. Then I‘d force myself to pick it up again. I gave up at page 95. My TBR is too long to try to force myself to read a book I‘m not enjoying.

This was my #roll100 pick 2.

Lucy_Anywhere I DNF‘d this a few years ago for the exact same reasons. There‘s a series adapted from the book but I found it a bit too icky for my tastes 1y
jenniferw88 That's a shame. I really liked this series! 1y

wanderinglynn @Lucy_Anywhere good to know. I won‘t bother with the adaptation. 👍🏻 1y
Amiable I liked this book well enough when I read it years ago. But my emotional attachment to it comes from a more personal connection. I was reading it when I was pregnant with my youngest son. We couldn't decide on a name. Every time I would pick up the book to read it, I would think “I like the way that name looks printed on the cover.“ Moral of this story? My son is named Caleb Thomas. 😃 1y

Loved the 1890s history of NYC wrapped in a mystery. Found myself researching a lot; I LOVE when a book makes me do that! This book was like CRIMINAL MINDS' techniques applied in the 19th century. Plus, the writer's dad was “the glue“ of the Beat generation = total geeky awesomeness. #randomfact

Favorite Quote: “Absolutely nothing brings out the killer instinct in the upper crust of New York society like a charity function.“

Is there anything more annoying than downloading an audiobook after a long waitlist, only to discover it‘s an abridged edition?! I went back and checked, and not once does it mention being abridged in the item description… ugh!
The good news is that I managed to find an unabridged copy through one of the *many* libraries I subscribe to 🤣

This is your sign not to annotate your books. I read this in 6th grade and annotated it for school. Past me absolutely terrorized present me. She simply could not shut up. Neither an unmarked page nor moment of insight.
Book was OK. Plot moves a little slow, but it was interesting. Characters felt like they had developed lives outside of the story.

Look what I found (see my last post)! I was determined to find this book on my bookshelves after watching the tv adaptation. Looking behind & under books. I knew that I had one copy. I had forgotten that I have two copies, but now I recall the bewildering fact that I liked the tv tie-in edition as much as the original paperback edition. So I kept it when I brought it home even when realizing that I already owned it. I am so eager to read this now!

Amiable I was reading this book when I was pregnant with my youngest son. I loved the way the author‘s name looked in print on the cover. So we ended up naming our son Caleb. A few years ago I gave him the book for his birthday and told him the story about how he got his name. He called me up later and said, “you named me after a book about a serial killer??” I said yeah, but it‘s a really good book! 😀 (edited) 3y

There is no excuse. I couldn‘t locate the book on my shelves. It‘s been an incredibly long time since I purchased it. I thought that I might get some motivation to really look for it by taking just a little peep at the tv adaptation. It was so good. I couldn‘t help myself. I watched the WHOLE thing! Well-acted! Superbly eerie! Wonderfully mysterious!

Now, I‘ll be up all night looking for the book!👀

julesG The show is very good. The books are, too. Good luck finding your copy. 3y
Centique I loved this series too! I read the books years ago and loved them at the time so I hope you find yours 🤞 3y
Tera66 I try not to watch the adaptation first too, but with this one I couldn't wait. I'm hoping with distance I'll enjoy the books too. 3y
Nute @julesG @Centique @Tera66 I‘ve had this series (both 1st and 2nd season) recorded on my DVR since they came out. I think that might be more than three years for season one. It was on hold until I caught up with the books. That goal is taking a long time so I decided to get a feel for the show. It was sooo good. I watched all of season one, but went back to the original goal as far as season two is concerned. I‘m going to read the books first,👇🏽 (edited) 3y
Nute @julesG @Centique @Tera66 that is if I can find them. I am sad about the fact that my bookshelves are now in such disarray (stuffed every which way) that I no longer know where books are located on them. A couple of times I have repurchased books that I know are already owned by me.😕 Last night I searched and searched, but no luck. I might buy them on my Kindle as I am now so excited to read them.🙂 (edited) 3y

This book is a So-so as it went on too long for me.I got impatient and a little bored.
The author did create memorable detail of NYC‘s underbelly,with its catacomb like tunnels,its houses of ill repute,its child sex trafficking,its gritty street life,its impoverished “hidden” underclass.Well written characters,among them,a journalist,a first female police person,an “alienist”,appearances by Teddy Roosevelt also prevented me from bailing.

A great read. Extremely detailed and full of fascinating characters (some fictional, some historical), it blended elements of a thriller and a period piece and a “rag-tag band of misfits” tale, all for a thoroughly enjoyable story. Particularly interesting for those curious about the earliest applications of psychological theory in criminal investigation/profiling. Like a late Victorian-era Mindhunter.

I haven‘t read/watched The Alienist but I want to. The list grows!

I haven‘t read the David Simon book, but the series is one of my all time favorites.

I‘ve read all the Shetland books and watched four of the available seasons. It‘s true to the spirit of the books if not the details. More in comments. ⬇️

Susanita One of my favorite moments from the series occurred when the outside investigator told him he might have to recuse himself because the case was too personal. (I don‘t remember which case, but I think Duncan was involved.) Jimmy said: This is Shetland! It‘s all personal! (pronounced pair-sonal) 4y

Set in NYC in the late 19th century this is a fast-paced thriller. A serial killer is on the loose and Chief of Police Theodore Roosevelt (yes, that Roosevelt) assembles a special unit led by an alienist to be able to make a profile of the killer. With psychology, science and traditional police skills for the first time working together, they are getting closer to their killer - step by step.
