The Samantha Cody series by D.P. Lyle features a forensic psychiatrist who gets involved in criminal cases that require her specialized knowledge of the human mind. The series draws heavily on Lyle’s own medical background, lending the stories a strong sense of clinical realism.
The trilogy begins with Devil’s Playground in 2001 and continues through Double Blind before wrapping up with Original Sin in 2014. The long gap between the second and third books means the series spans over a decade, but the stories can be read back to back without issue. Fans of crime fiction with a psychological edge will find plenty to like here.
