A Lesson in Therapy and Murder

A Lesson in..., Book 3

By: David Unger PhD

Narrated by: Jake Austin Robertson

The third installment of the popular Lesson series—featuring therapist, professor, and reluctant sleuth David Unger.

While reluctantly attending a therapist conference, David is relieved to find escape from his colleagues when a random stranger asks for his help. But curiosity can be a curse.

He’s unwittingly drawn into a family feud, and doesn’t need to attend classes to know these never end well.

Sure enough, people start dying, and a cryptic note, snarky siblings, and an intimidating wine magnate all conspire to test David’s sleuthing abilities—and his breaking-and-entering skills. A class for this might be more beneficial.

Detecting leaves him perilously short on conference credits, but he’s caught in the tribal crossfire. He has no choice but to breakout the voodoo-therapy skills and prove he doesn’t actually need the classes.

Will this be enough to expose the killer? Or will he be taking more courses?

Cheaper than therapy and funnier

Very much enjoyed this romp through a therapy conference in Santa Barbara. Lots of tricks of the trade that are shared in the context of the story. The author has a self-deprecating sense of humor and a gentle yet critical eye on his profession. The mystery totally stumped me. I enjoy the various references to what was popular at the time (mid 80’s). The narrator is exceptional, making the characters distinct and relatable. Great listening.
