About this event

We are thrilled to welcome Philippa Perry to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of Shrink Solves M*rder.

 

Her 3 o’clock just became a m*rder case...

When a body washes up near Beachy Head, the Police chalk it up to s*icide — 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 poet, 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.

 

Philippa will talk about her new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.

 

Philippa Perry  is an artist and psychotherapist as well as a TV and radio presenter. She is the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read and The Book You Want Everyone You Love* To Read?(*And Maybe a Few You Don’t), published by Cornerstone Press. Her books have been translated in over 40 languages.
