Perfect for you if...

You enjoy psychological thrillers where the stakes are deeply personal and the twist lands hard.
You've read McFadden before and want that same page-turning tension with an unreliable reality.
You like dating-app horror stories that explore how little we really know about the people we let into our lives.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer thrillers where the detective work is the centrepiece rather than the domestic suspense.
You're looking for a grounded, procedural take on serial killer narratives.
You need your female protagonists to be immediately suspicious and proactive rather than initially enchanted.

About this book

Sydney Shaw, a single woman in New York, has struggled with dating until she meets a charming, handsome doctor. She quickly becomes involved with him and feels she has finally found the right person. When a young woman is murdered—part of a series of deaths along the coast—police investigate. The killer is believed to be a man who dates women before killing them. Sydney should feel secure in her relationship, but she begins to suspect that her boyfriend may not be who he appears to be. As she realizes someone is watching her closely, Sydney must uncover the truth about him before she becomes his next victim.
