Philippa Perry: Shrink Solves Murder, Gebunden

Klappentext

A small-town psychotherapist draws on all her knowledge of the human psyche to solve the murder of a patient in this warm and witty mystery novel---by a real psychotherapist turned #1 internationally bestselling author.

Living in picturesque coastal Sussex, Patricia Philipps enjoys her quiet life---walking the cliffs, shouting at poorly disciplined dog owners, telling tourists to keep their distance from the crumbling cliff edges, and cold-water swimming.

Then a body washes up near Beachy Head, upending her carefully curated life as she discovers the deceased is one of her clients---her "Three O'Clock," in fact.

The police chalk it up to suicide, but Pat sees things differently. She reads people. She understands them---their lusts, their loves, their quirks, their ticks, their tells, their deepest desires. She looks, she listens, she watches. And she never jumps to conclusions. After all, she spends her days listening to secrets, resentments, fantasies, and motives. She's certain someone wanted Henry Clayton dead.

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