***HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY***
This is chilling psychological fiction as it contains a sociopath who does some clever, kinky manipulating and plotting. You won’t find out who that is for quite a while into this book, but have fun guessing who it is.
The story revolves around Dr. Sam Statler, a psychologist. He’s newly married and has decided to move back to his smaller hometown in upstate New York to care for his ailing mother and live a quieter life.
He’s found the perfect place to fashion his new private practice in a beautiful old building and the owner is willing to let Sam redecorate however he likes. He’s getting the space for what he thinks is a really good deal.
Sam is riding high because he’s found a letter stating that his father is leaving his mother and ultimately him a good deal of money after many years of neglect. Sam wastes no time in spending money on furniture, a new car etc. All he needs is to get his mother to sign the papers for him to have power of attorney. That shouldn’t be hard right?
Sam feels he’s in the perfect place in his life. He has a new practice and a new wife, Annie, whom he adores. But we all know that things are never as perfect as they appear and Sam is about to learn a very big lesson!!!
He is very good at seeing inside his patients minds and motives but fails to turn the same attention on himself and those close to him, BIG MISTAKE!!
I hope this is enough to get you interested in reading this thriller with the ultimate unreliable narrator. Ms. Molloy uses this element to manipulate the reader more than once. There are quite a few twists that you will not see coming, I can pretty much promise you that.
I think fans of Ms.Malloy will be delighted and eager to devour her new offering and I’m sure she will gain new fans.
I received an ARC of this novel from the publisher through Edelweiss.
The novel is set to publish on October 13, 2020

This is on my radar 😁
Sam, dear, spending money before it's really and truly in your hands, is a very bad idea...and I feel you are making more mistakes, thanks to Dories excellent review. 😁

Dorie, enticing review. This is normally not my genre but I ‘met’ the charming author on a webinar a few months ago and couldn’t pass this up. I even know a spoiler or two but not enough to keep me from reading this fantastic book. 😳 Just loved your review! 😊 Cheers!

Great review :)- you managed to tell just enough to tantalize! I enjoyed this piece of illusion/faulty narrators/ a mystery not quite clear a lot!

Such a great read. I found it by accident on Amazon prime and just finished it. Twisty, turny, and tricky!
