Asking for Murder

Advice Column Mysteries, Book 3

By: Roberta Isleib

Narrated by: Cara Swingline

In book three of this suspenseful Advice Column Mystery series, psychologist Rebecca Butterman—“a sleuth whose advice you can trust”—learns that when it comes to murder, everyone can use a little help.

When Dr. Rebecca Butterman’s friend and fellow therapist Annabelle Hart is found beaten and left for dead, Rebecca is determined to find the truth. Although she’s a psychologist and an advice columnist, no one seems to want her help. Not Detective Meigs, who thinks the crime was either a relationship gone sour or a botched robbery. And not Annabelle’s sister, who makes it clear Rebecca isn’t welcome in family matters. While tending to Annabelle’s patients as well as her own, sorting out cryptic messages left in a sand tray, and pushing back on the moody detective who doesn’t want an amateur sleuth trying to solve his mystery, Dr. Butterman must use all her psychological skills before the killer strikes again.

Rebecca Butterman is an appealing character who sleuths, cooks, and psychoanalyzes. Fans of bestselling female sleuth series such as Diane Mott Davidson’s Goldy Schultz Culinary Mysteries, Cleo Coyle’s Coffee Shop mysteries, Stephen White’s psychology mysteries, Judith Guest’s Ordinary People, and Susan Wittig Alpert’s China Bayles mysteries will also love Rebecca Butterman.
