When I was in high school, our social science instructor informed us that “someday, a mental health check up will be as common as a physical health check up.” Sadly, that has not come to pass. I’m saying sadly because all my friends and most of my family could benefit from some therapy, and you can include me in that list, too. Then again, who wants to be “normal”????? In Shrink Rap by Robert Parker, our Detective Sunny finds herself working for stunning romance novelist Melanie Joan Hall. Sunny is doing her darndest to protect Melanie, who is being stalked by her ex-husband, who is, coincidentally also Melanie’s ex psychiatrist. Hmmmmmm…………. Sunny being the go-getter that she is decides to go undercover—as it were—and seek therapy from the ex husband/psychiatrist—while also best-friending her own ex-husband. You can bet that our Sunny girl is going to discover some things about herself that perhaps she didn’t want to know. Our author is such a tease. Will Sunny wind up dead? Will the psychiatrist wind up on the couch with Sunny? Is Melanie really an innocent victim or a fiend in disguise? The short chapters pack plenty of intrigue to keep you reading till you discover all the answers in this clever little story.
