Beneath the faded grandeur of a Victorian psychiatric hospital on the English coast, young doctor Camilla Flanders is falling apart - and falling deeper into an affair she can't control.
Hopelessly infatuated with her charismatic, coldhearted colleague Alvin Musslewhite, Camilla throws herself into running her very first group therapy sessions, secretly hoping it will draw them closer. Instead she finds herself caught between eccentric patients, hospital politics, and a secret she can barely admit to herself.
Hopelessly infatuated with her charismatic, coldhearted colleague Alvin Musslewhite, Camilla throws herself into running her very first group therapy sessions, secretly hoping it will draw them closer. Instead she finds herself caught between eccentric patients, hospital politics, and a secret she can barely admit to herself.
When one of her group members dies suddenly of an overdose, the quirky, old-fashioned world of The Haven hospital is thrown into chaos. As an inquest looms and old secrets start to surface, Camilla must face the consequences of her choices - both personal and professional - before her own life spirals out of control too.
Blending sharp wit, gentle satire, and a wickedly authentic insider's view of 1980s psychiatric medicine, Overdose is a darkly funny, deeply human story about love, loyalty, and the thin line between healer and patient.
If you enjoy quirky British fiction with flawed, unforgettable characters, dark humor, and a touch of scandal, you'll be hooked on Book 1 of the Dr Peabody series.
