Books like The murderer's daughter by Jonathan Kellerman

Grace Blades, a respected clinical psychologist, has built a calm, successful career by helping others heal from trauma. Her own past, however, is shadowed by the murder‑suicide she witnessed as a child, a memory she has guarded with meticulous self‑discipline. When a new patient—who resembles a man from a night of dangerous past indulgences—begins therapy, Grace is pulled into a web of intrigue. The patient’s abrupt death, marked only by Grace’s business card as the only clue, initiates a police inquiry that threatens to expose her hidden double life. Determined to protect herself and uncover the truth, Grace launches her own private investigation, confronting a manipulative adversary whose warped desire for control forces her back into the chaos she had long escaped. The novel blends psychological insight, suspense, and the lingering impact of early trauma to examine how past wounds shape present choices.
