The Boyfriend: The Riveting New Psychological Thriller from BESTSELLING author of THE HOUSEMAID
From Freida McFadden, the bestselling mind behind The Housemaid series, comes another psychological thriller that twists itself into knots in the best possible way. Sydney Shaw is a single New Yorker who has endured the full spectrum of dating disasters: fabricated profiles, unpaid dinner bills, and men whose devotion to their mothers borders on the clinical. Then, against all odds, she meets someone who seems genuinely wonderful. He's charming, good-looking, and works as a hospital doctor. Sydney is smitten. Meanwhile, a series of murders along the coast has left police baffled. The killings share an unsettling pattern: each victim was romantically involved with her attacker before she died. The suspect remains unidentified. Sydney tells herself she has nothing to worry about. She's found her ideal partner, after all. But a nagging doubt refuses to quiet down. Something about him feels slightly off, and she can't quite put her finger on what. Someone, it seems, is keeping a close eye on her, and the truth she's reluctant to face may be the only thing standing between her and becoming the next victim. A genuinely unsettling exploration of obsession and the lengths people go to in the name of love, The Boyfriend is a sharp, propulsive read that McFadden's fans will tear through in a single sitting.
