About the author
After publishing several medical books, I have returned to my childhood passion for writing fiction. Originally from England, I qualified as a doctor from the University of Oxford in 1970, and spent 30 years working in clinical and research posts. From 1991-2000 I was consultant in psychological medicine, with special interests in oncology and palliative care, at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. After my husband and I moved to New Zealand in 2000 I decided not to resume an orthodox medical career but, having done some training in natural therapies, practised as a Bach flower practitioner and life coach for ten years. I also developed interests in choral singing and animal welfare. My novels reflect these interests as well as my medical background. The latest one "You Yet Shall Die", set in southern England, is a story about family relationships and the uncovering of a long-ago crime.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021Camilla is in the wrong profession; far too immature to be a therapist of any kind, attempting to assist others with their problems. She has enough of her own - and no self-awareness, little self-worth and a totally misguided view of where the moral line should be drawn. Which, of course, makes her an intriguing, if unlikeable character. Her infatuation with the good-looking but cad of the highest order, Dr Alvin Musselwhite leads her to make many disastrous decisions in her private life that have a flow-on effect on her medical practice. The insight Barraclough gives us into psychiatry as it was (hopefully) - the influence of drug companies, the improper use of certain interventions, the very thin line between patient and doctor - along with a clear, relevant explanation of certain procedures and medications, all contribute to making this quite an intriguing story.
The ending was a surprise - and I see there's a sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is how it was! The bad old days of psychiatry
Powerful evocation of psychiatric practice 30-40 years ago, parts of which are truly shocking. Story that carries you along - I did not want to put it down til I knew what had happened. Great read with serious thought-provoking aspects and a character to hate with a clear conscience.
