A lawyer is asked to come to the police station to clear up a few loose ends in his witness report of a foul murder. "This will only take ten minutes", they say, but it turns out to be one loose end after another, and the ten minutes he is away from his speech become longer and longer.

In John Wainwright's 'Brainwash,' readers are invited into a masterfully crafted narrative that delves deep into the psychological complexity of its characters. The novel emphasizes the nuanced interplay between truth and deception, presenting a gripping tale that challenges perceptions at every turn. Unlike the film adaptation, which condenses the intricate layers of the story into a shorter format, the book allows readers to fully immerse themselves into the protagonist's mind, understanding his motivations and the subtleties of the investigative process. The storytelling is taut yet beautifully descriptive, offering insight into the psychological edge-of-the-seat thriller genre. Reading 'Brainwash' provides a richer, more detailed experience, encouraging readers to piece together the mystery at their own pace. This makes it a highly engaging choice for those who savor the cerebral thrill of psychological suspense, offering a depth of narrative that a movie simply cannot replicate.
