Nutcase in a Nutshell

Charlotte Hughes' "CRAZY" series about her dizzy psychologist main character and her friends and family is quite hilarious. Charlotte has a wacky sense of humor that makes you laugh the entire time you are reading her "CRAZY" books. I enjoyed this book enough to buy the others in the series.

Nutcase Can Relieve Your Stress Through Laughter

Not often does a small, easy to read book, bring so much to the table. Charlotte Hughes' romantic suspense NUTCASE involves Atlanta psychologist Kate Holly. Dr. Holly has a few problems of her own, not to mention family members and friends who are at least as "nuts" as her patients, and she herself is a tad obsessive compulsive. The antics of her cast of characters make it hard for her to sort through her own stresses, and still stay sane. The focus of the plot is on an arsonist who is targetting firefighters. This is a big deal to Kate as she lost her father (a firefighter) to a burning building, and she isnt exactly thrilled that her ex, who, she is still attached to, now is risking his life with these arsons. While the plot serves to make this a mystery, its strong suit is the incredibly good dialogue, and Ms. Hughes' trademark wit and humor. But what makes this book stand out to me as one of the best books of the year so far is the helpful therapeutic advice given in the vignettes where she is treating the patients. This book is funny and healing, smart and entertaining, and yet too brief! My only disappointment is that the next book in the series is a year away! This series is so visual it would make a great movie or quirky TV series.

Nutcase

I loved this book. It is a fast action-packed read with real psychological advice from Dr. kate Holly. It is a romantic suspence with violence and crazy "nutcase" patients. Charlotte Hughes will make you laugh and become attached to her characters. I am ready to read it again to escape my boring life, and get some adventure!
