    Need a good read? I highly recommend Tomato's underrated gem, *The Lie of Healing*! Key elements: high-IQ crime + psychological manipulation + female detective captain + perfect villain. Highlights: The villainous psychologist uses hypnosis and cognitive therapy to train clients into proxy killers, never getting her hands dirty. Each case is a replica of a real-life unsolved case, with logic so tight it's almost obsessive. The female captain, without evidence, engages in a battle of wits with the psychologist, maintaining her intelligence throughout – a truly thrilling game of strategy!
