About this item

Therapist-turned-reluctant detective Jessica Mayhew is on the trail once again in this smart, fast-paced novel of suspense from Charlotte Williams - author of the debut The House on the Cliff - a tautly written psychological thriller that ventures deep into the recesses of the mind.Jessica Mayhew has enough problems without getting wrapped up in her patients' drama. Her separation from her husband doesn't seem as amicable as she once thought, and her daughters are drifting away as fast as they're growing up. But her new client - chic, moody, obsessive painter Elinor Powell - has a way of drawing people in and soon Jessica's getting involved with what seems to be a most artful murder.Elinor presents a rare professional challenge. She blames herself for keeping a valuable portrait in her studio, where her mother was killed in an unsolved robbery.
