May 14, 2009: Rebecca Butterman is a clinical psychologist and writes an advice column in her local New England newspaper. Her dear friend, and fellow therapist, Annabelle Hart, misses a luncheon appointment. Rebecca finds her badly beaten in her home in New Haven. Annabelle's sister arrives in town and refuses to let Rebecca visit her in the hospital.
Rebecca pocketed Rebecca's Day Planner at the scene almost without realizing it because they had an agreement to cover each other's appointments in the case of an emergency. Soon Rebecca begins to suspect it wasn't a simple case of burglary gone bad and begins to investigate.Rebecca finds it enlightening in helping Annabelle's clients with sand therapy. She isn't well versed in it and goes to her own therapist and uses it herself to deal with the men in her life, her father, her ex-husband, Detective Tiegs, and her almost-boyfriend Bob.There are plenty of suspicious people to interview when Rebecca sets out to find out who beat up Annabelle and why.I enjoy this series. Rebecca is such a fun character. And I like the tension between her and Detective Tiegs. The supporting characters are always entertaining, too. And I especially like the New England location.I like that Rebecca is an intelligent sleuth, but doesn't fully have her life together. I think many readers can relate to that.I highly recommend this book and series.
