Dr. Pecksniff, a most singular psychiatrist, is relishing the prospect of fleecing yet another unsuspecting troubled soul - on this occasion a gullible housewife with a crumbling self-image and a sizable nest egg. Seizing on her admittance of a penchant for romance novels, Pecksniff convinces his patient, Mrs. Flagg, of her imminent slide into moral turpitude, offering salvation through his own unique, very expensive (and battery-assisted) approach to mental health.But, just as in psychiatry, things aren't always quite what they appear to be on the surface, and when dark deeds and a dead cat make an appearance, Dr. Pecksniff's unorthodox therapy session is soon sent hurtling towards its shocking conclusion!Clever, witty, funny - made me laugh out loud.
