Amanda Cross: In the Last Analysis (UK 2018)

From the Publisher:
When Janet Harrison asks her English Professor Kate Fansler to recommend a psychoanalyst, no one could have imagined that Janet's body would be discovered on his couch two months later.

Kate can't believe that her old friend Emanuel Bauer could be a murderer, even though Janet was killed in his office using a knife from his kitchen. With help from a team of close companions she sets out to discover the truth, something the police seem happy to ignore.

Could the killer be the advertising executive who had his appointment before Janet? Or the lecturer who attends the appointment afterwards? And what about the handsome doctor in the office across the hall?

Amanda Cross's tense, taut mystery In the Last Analysis will keep you enthralled and on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

'Amanda Cross delighted readers with Kate Fansler... the hero we'd been waiting all our lives for' - Sara Paretsky, author of the V.I. Warshawski novels.

From the Publisher:
KATE FANSLER IS "AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE IN THE FINEST TRADITION". -- The New York Times
When beautiful Janet Harrison asks English professor Kate Fansier to recommend a Manhattan psychoanalyst, Kate immediately sends the girl to her dear friend and former lover, Dr. Emanuel Bauer. Seven weeks later, the girl is stabbed to death on Emanuel's couch -- with incriminating fingerprints on the murder weapon. To Kate, the idea of her brilliant friend killing anyone is preposterous, but proving it seems an impossible task. For Janet had no friends, no lover, no family. Why, then, should someone feel compelled to kill her? Kate's analytic techniques leave no stone unturned -- not even the one under which a venomous killer once again lies colled and ready to strike...
