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.

Reviews
I've always admired the sleuth in Philippa Perry and that's more than vindicated in this assured and hugely enjoyable murder mystery debut. It's brilliant! -- Richard Coles
Fantastic book: wickedly witty, with delightful quirky characters and a cracking plot -- Dame Jacqueline Wilson
What a joy Shrink Solves Murder by Philippa Perry is. This is cosy crime with a side order of psychological insight and fabulously real characters. Already looking forward to the next one! -- Jennie Godfrey
An enjoyable blend of mystery and gentle satire * Guardian *
A cunning murder disguised as a suicide, a brilliant psychotherapist who doesn't believe what she's told, and a cast of village eccentrics who help (and hinder) her investigations, this is cosy crime at its most enjoyable -- Natalie Haynes
A crash course in psychotherapy cunningly disguised as a very entertaining murder mystery -- Henning Wehn
Charming, cheering and eccentric - in other words everything a good shrink should be. You'll be sad when your time is up. -- Andrew Hunter Murray
Shrink Solves Murder is a wonderfully fun and dunny whodunnit, charged with Philippa Perry's acute and compassionate eye for human foibles. Pat, Pritchard - and of course Dave the cat - are a terrific band of sleuths. I can't wait for the next one -- Charlotte Higgins
