Having read two of Alan Russell's books, including the Hotel Detective and the Fat Innkeeper, I was totally unprepared for this excellent novel. Although the sense of humor is still evident, Mr. Russell approaches the subject of multiple personalities much more seriously while providing the reader with a lesson in classical myths (read it and you will understand...) Exceptional read which will be enjoyed by those already familiar with Mr. Russell's work as well as new readers. This book should be in the Amazon top 50 list

Alan Russell has written a novel that will intrigue you with it's three main characters. He guides you through the plot using the shifts of focus in one character with a number of distinct voices, but for all the intrigue in her it is the more crucial and realistic relationship that is almost overlooked at first.

It's easy to get fixated on the tricks and twists in the "multiple" part of Multiple Wounds, but pay attention to what's going on behind the curtain for the real wizardry.

If the names of the characters are mythological derivatives and other similarities abound, you will not be surprised or shocked to spot the bad guys very early. Have I got a swan for you.
