The Divorce Group


Book Description

Most people who end their marriages do so in the traditional way--through divorce by way of the court system. There are a few folks, however, who prefer a less complicated and time-consuming process: murder. The Grief Clinic, organized by social worker Brooksie Everett, offers support for mourners and divorcs alike, as well as counseling for those still trying to hold on to an existing marriage. But the clinic has had a troubled past of its own. In the last year, it has been connected to three homicides that took the lives of two group members and the sister of one of the clinics psychologists. Patients and staff at the clinic have only just begun to recover. But as a new divorce support group begins to take shape, a murderer is once again circling the clinic--and only time will tell who will make it out alive. In this novel, a therapy practice for grief and divorce support forms the backdrop for a murder mystery as someone seeks to end marriage with a more permanent solution than divorce.
