Another absolutely amazing book by B.A. Paris! I definitely recommend this book and author, what an unexpected story.

This was another edge of your seat, read during the daylight, physiological thriller by this author.

I started it & couldn't put it down. Read in one day. Trying to build a relationship with a base of lies. Then doing the very same thing to the person you don't trust.

Full of twists & turns that keep you guessing until the end.

I received an advanced copy, but voluntarily left this review.

I will leave 5 star review on Amazon under name of Connie
Thank you for granting me access to this book!

Predictably, Paris has written another cracker of a novel. That's the truth, and nothing but the truth. The Therapist grabs you from the start and simply doesn't let go. Paris has such an engaging writing style that pleasantly pulls you into the thrilling stories she crafts. The pages seemingly turn themselves as you become engrossed in this terrific thriller. The protagonist is likable with a past we uncover over the course of the book. The twists and the turns of the book leave her struggling to differentiate truth from fiction. This book is at once a murder mystery and a psychological thriller. Paris is a master at combining the two to create another great read. Thank you to St. Martin's Press for the advanced reading copy! #TheTherapist #NetGalley

Alice is rural woman with a tragic past. She is excited to fall in love with a city Risk Manager and begin a new life in London, in a posh gated community. While she embraces her new exclusive neighborhood, the neighbors seem a bit standoffish. When a Private Investigator turns up at her door looking for answers on behalf of her client, Alice learned that her fancy new home holds an unspeakable history. She believes she can come to terms with her own tragic past as well as solve the mystery of what really happened at her home to the last inhabitant. To do this, she teams up with her new Private Investigator friend, and they take on the neighborhood where they aren't sure anything is what it seems. What happened in The Circle that night?

When I saw that B.A. Paris had a new book coming, I was instantly excited. Every lover of domestic thrillers knows the success that was Behind Closed Doors, and I equally loved (very different, but equally compelling) The Dilemma. The Therapist was highly readable, and I finished it quickly. I didn't feel an intense connection to the main character, who I felt was a bit TOO "damaged" for my liking. Honestly, I didn't connect with any of the characters. The ending definitely threw me through a loop though -- which is hard to do! So for that reason alone, I recommend the read. The two plot twists were shocking, sad, and unexpected, and at the very end I finally developed a relationship with one of the characters. I'd love to say more, but I can't risk spoiling anything for you, reader!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC!

Do you think you really know your partner? Your neighbors? The friendly person who appears out of nowhere at an invitees-only party?

Think again. This story of an essentially cloistered community in the middle of London will leave you guessing until the end (unless I was too into the story to see the clues).

Leo and Alice move into a home in this community, and we soon learn that a murder had been committed there, with the evidence pointing to Oliver, the husband of the murdered woman, Nina, a therapist, (a woman we soon learn that Leo had had an affair with before falling in love with Alice). We also learn in the early pages of the story that Oliver had subsequently committed suicide, lending more credence to the theory that he was Nina’s killer, despite all of the neighbors claiming how much in love the two of them had been.

Alice becomes determined to get to the bottom of what appear to be conflicting stories and hidden agendas. And, she does, but I can say nothing more without revealing spoilers.

There were times that I felt that the plot to The Therapist was ludicrous, but it’s not - it’s just involved and easy to be sucked into, thinking “WHAT!?” as it unfolded. . But most of the time I felt like making sure my doors and windows were firmly locked, all the lights in my house blazing, and my alarm set - the story is so creepy and full of so many layers that the hairs on the back were standing up on end throughout.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley.

This book took complete control of my day and I was completely captivated. Absolutely loved it! Page turning and emotjonal
