TG Wolff Review

Psycho Therapy is a Mystery. Diamond. One name for a woman who is faking it until she makes it. And she will make it. At least that’s what she’s telling herself. Dr. Robin Ransom is a therapist to first responders, cops, and spies. She has a problem. She is being blackmailed via email by a nameless, faceless crook. Her neighbor Murali Devi, is an IT wizard who said he’d take care of the problem for her. Now he’s dead. And there’s a hot British guy after her for information she swears she doesn’t have.

Before Diamond was a widow, she was a CIA agent with lethal skills. Skills she nearly used on herself. An intervention puts her on Dr. Ransom’s couch and squarely in the middle of a high-stakes game of blackmail, kidnapping, and murder. From a video gaming Beastmaster in Michigan, to a suicide bomber in Virginia, to a psychiatric conference in the south of France, Diamond jumps in with her usual flair for chaos and destruction. But Fate isn’t satisfied, pushing Diamond into a position where it is either her or the person she cares for most.

Bottom line: Psycho Therapy is for you if you like fast-paced mysteries, dynamic characters, and story meant to be read just for the fun of it

Strengths of the story. Like all of the Diamond stories, Psycho Therapy is a mystery with an adventure pacing that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Each chapter is a story in itself, making it a satisfying read.

.Where the story fell short of ideal: This is the third story in a trilogy. While the mystery – Dr. Robin Ransom’s story – is independent of the first two books, the character development for Diamond is not. Like any trilogy, you can read the story alone, but you won’t be able to fully get the relationship between the characters or the jokes that refer back to previous books – like defenestration. Really, the best thing you can do for yourself is to read all three.
