In the Last Analysis is the first in the Kate Fansler series by Amanda Cross (pen name for Carolyn Gold Heilbrun). This is one of the earlier mystery series I read after I pretty much finished Agatha Christie's books.

My ex-mother-in-law, who was a female academic in the northeast in the same time period as Heilbrun told me that many of the people in some of the books are pretty thinly disguised academics of the time. I enjoyed them a lot even without recognizing anyone; my ex-mother-in-law enjoyed them even more .

Anyway, Last Analysis is $1.99 today as part of the US Kindle Daily Deal, matched at Kobo US.

Quote:
When beautiful Janet Harrison asks English professor Kate Fansler 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 coiled and ready to strike. . . .
