He Said, She Said: A Mystery
A California prosecutor wrestling with mental illness and addiction takes on a make-or-break a celebrity therapist accused of a sex crime.
Suffering from hard-to-treat psychosis, Los Angeles lawyer Bradlee Aames has been teetering on the edge too long. To avoid falling, she stays focused by winning trial after trial, even while she’s self-medicating with booze, dope, and midnight surfing sessions on the Pacific Ocean. But when a thick fog of delusions engulfs her, she blows a case, and her reputation is suddenly on the line.
To rehabilitate her career, she’s been given an easy Dr. Don, a popular TV shrink, stands accused of sexually exploiting a vulnerable female patient, yet the broken woman won’t testify. If Bradlee can settle the matter quietly, the Medical Board will be pleased. All they want is to avoid further embarrassment—even when a predator like Dr. Don is primed to debase more helpless women. But Deputy Attorney General Bradlee Aames never does anything quietly.
In a sun-blasted, hallucinatory world where illusion is the name of the game, this battle is about to reveal power, corruption, and personal demons—on both sides of the law.
“Throw your preconceptions and expectations about legal thrillers out the window… He Said, She Said will pick you up, shake you around, and knock you on your can.”―Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Where It Hurts

While this had an important subject matter the mystery didn't draw me in, couldn't stay focused on the story and I skimmed through the last bit

Initially, this book was difficult to grasp, but once more of the story's characters were identified it was difficult to put down. Not sure why it is classified as a mystery, and not a legal thriller though. DeCure weaves a tale of psychosis, abuse, lies, mistrust, deceit, power, corruption in a legal battle that occurs far to frequently in reality.
Each character involved told her or his story as she or he lived it. Sometimes the stories intersected, so it was interesting to learn about the same event from differing perspectives. Gave pause for thought.

An attorney has reached the place in her life that alcohol and drugs are necessary to live. Then the delusions start. The author tells the story in such a way that the reader will not be able to put down the book. I found myself looking several times to be sure the story wasn't about someone I knew.
