Shrink Wrapped (Dr. Lewis Ann Dryden Mysteries) (Volume 1)

She spends her days teaching mindfulness techniques to hospital patients, helping them eliminate stress and pain from their lives. But for psychologist Dr. Lou Ann Dryden, a state of Zen is near impossible to find.

Between work politics, pesky bosses, and a complicated family life, Lou would love to turn inward to find a calm and happy place—but every day it seems like something or someone else is prepared to stand in her way.

Now, at her second job as a consultant to the local police department, it’s an unsettling child abduction case that’s harshing Lou’s mellow. Her mission: to narrow down the suspect pool in the kidnapping of a nine-year-old girl, with the help of her quirky police chief cousin and a good-guy ex named Jeep.

When a series of interviews seem to be getting her nowhere at all, it only adds to Lou’s frustration, as a child’s life lies dangerously in the balance. But just when it looks like the creep might get away with it, Lou finds herself a target of the very bad guy she’s after—and quickly promises he’ll regret the day he ever underestimated her.
