    A promising book, please help me promote it! [Heart emojis] ⚠️ Warning: This book is likely to keep you up all night! "The Lie of Healing" is practically a textbook on "language-based hypnotic crimes." The killer doesn't use a knife or show his face; he can make people willingly commit suicide with just a few "healing phrases." Criminal investigation captain Lin Zhenzhen faces an eternally "innocent" enemy—psychologist Lin Mo. The cases in the book allude to real-life mysteries, creating a strong sense of immersion. The foreshadowing is deep, and the pacing is so tight you won't dare fast-forward. If you like the style of "Criminal Minds" or "The Lie Detective," add this to your bookshelf now!
