Burying Ben by Ellen Kirschman
"A deftly crafted novel of compelling complexity," this first book in the mystery series featuring cop therapist Dr. Dot Meyerhoff is "absorbing" (Midwest Book Review).As her police department's newest hire, police psychologist Dot Meyerhoff has a lot to prove. Especially since everyone on a small-town force doesn't see any reason for a shrink on staff. So when the rookie cop commits suicide, everyone's looking to blame Dot--even Dot herself. Dot knew Ben Gomez was struggling to adjust to police work, but how had she missed the signs that he was at the end of his rope?
Now, with Ben's and her reputation on the line, Dot goes looking for answers. What she discovers is the dark underbelly of a town--and a police force--who have very little patience with a woman who asks too many questions. Dot is determined to get to the truth behind the young officer's death--even at the risk of losing her job. Or her life. . . .
