4.0 out of 5 stars Psychological, August 26, 2007

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Man Who Killed Himself (Paperback)
A shy introverted man named Arthur Brownjohn has assumed a second identity, to free himself from his overbearing and obnoxious wife. Major Eason Allenby is everything ArthurBrownjohn is not, a bold, slightly shady, skirt chaser. However the complications of living two lives start to pile up, Brownjohn decides to give up the second life, but if only he could get rid of his wife, then his first life wouldn't be so unbearable. But how to commit the perfect murder? The answer is obvious- pin the murder on Allenby, who will then disappear forever.
A very entertaining story from Symons, a study in psychology as the author lets us inside Arthur Brownjohn's head; showing us what brings him to create an alternate personality, then drives him to commit a seemingly perfect murder, and then what makes it all fall apart in the end.
