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.

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.
