Her 3 o clock just became a murder case...

When a body is found near Beachy Head, the police chalk it up to suicide a tragic but not uncommon end in these parts.

But local psychotherapist Patricia Phillips isn t convinced.

The victim? Her three o clock patient, Henry Clayton.

The cause of death is supposedly self-inflicted. Yet Pat can t shake the belief that someone wanted Henry Clayton dead. She spends her working life listening to histories and secrets, and she has a nose for when a story doesn t quite ring true.

Drawn from the therapy room to the crime scene, Pat begins to notice what others appear to overlook.

At her side is her best friend Prichard a home-brewer of fearsome, stomach-turning concoctions, an excellent cook, and a man who seems to get along with everyone. Which makes him useful for infiltrating village life.

As Pat and Prichard look beneath the village s thin veneer of normality one that barely conceals its appetites they discover a killer hiding in plain sight.

Shrink Solves Murder is a warm, witty, and perceptive crime caper from the nation s favourite therapist.
