The man, named Thomas, turns out to be a private detective looking into a recent murder in Alice and Leo's house. Truthfully, it became a struggle to finish.

The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients – Irvin Yalom

Alice was looking forward to moving into a house in London with her boyfriend Leo. Although reluctant to leave her lovely cosy cottage in a small country village, Leo had been commuting to see her on the weekends for well over a year and it was time for them to be together. The house was in a gated estate of twelve houses built around a circle with a Central Park and playground and Alice was looking forward to getting to know her neighbours. Leo had bought the house at a very good price while Alice was on holiday and sent her photos of it, but he neglected to tell her about something terrible that happened in the house to the previous owners. Alice Dawson and her partner Leo Curtis move into an exclusive, quiet enclave in London - The Circle. There are only 12 homes in this gated estate. Leo travels a lot for work and Alice is hoping to make friends. Which she does. Emma and Will, Maria and Tim are very friendly. Tamsin seems hostile to Alice although her husband Conor is friendly enough. And Edward and Lorna, an older couple seem quite reclusive. Yes.

Mindfulness and acceptance workbook for anxiety: A guide to breaking free from anxiety, phobias, and worry using acceptance and commitment therapy. New Harbinger.As in most communities, there are undercurrents and secrets, among them the fact that the murder victim, Nina, was seeing a therapist....and no one seems to know who it was or why she was going. The novel centres on Martha and Rob, two psychotherapists who share a practice in Chatswood, Sydney. Although Martha is considering retiring, she agrees to take on a few more new patients. Each character seeking therapy has their own reasons —some even suspicious ones— to come to the clinic, and it is through their storylines that we get deeply involved in Martha and Rob's lives: two flawed therapists who need to navigate their private turmoils while helping and caring for others. A novel that started out fairly strong, but lost me along the way. B.A. Paris is an author whose early novels I really enjoyed and whose later novels have been hit and miss for me. This one was definitely a miss. If you don’t mind suspending disbelief, you might enjoy this more than I did.

a little upper from Switzerland zone (which means: A little better than neither I like it or I hate it zone) I was so close to give 3.5 stars and round up to 4 if I didn’t dislike the main character’s completely unreasonable, obsessive ( nope, I have to stop being kind when I mentioned her: she acted like unleashed, uncontrollable, stupid person! ) decisions!
