The Dinner Party by R.J. ParkerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Protagonist Ted, well-meaning and principled but too easily swayed by others, at one point asks himself, "How was he meant to be thinking about his friend?" For me, that approach describes the crux of this psychological mystery. Eight individuals--four couples. They consider themselves "a dinner group," not really socializing beyond that--or so Ted thinks. I think there's too much thinking going on among this group. Self-analysis is well and good, until it becomes "what does my spouse/friend/therapist think? Maybe I should change my mind?"
