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

When a body washes up near Beachy Head, the Police chalk it up to suicide -- a tragic but not uncommon end in these parts.

But local psychotherapist Patricia Philipps isn't convinced.

The victim? Her three o'clock patient, Henry Clayton.
The cause? Supposedly self-inflicted.
The truth? Pat suspects murder and she's trained to spot what others miss.

After all, she spends her days listening to secrets, resentments, fantasies and motives. And she's certain someone wanted Henry Clayton dead.

With her chaotic best friend Pritchard in tow (part-time brewer, full-time meddler), Pat swaps the therapy room for the crime scene. It's time to unpick the lies, untangle the egos and catch a killer hiding in plain sight.

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