Not for me unfortunately but I really appreciate the opportunity to try it for myself. The pace was lacking suspense and didn’t hold my interest. I don’t think I will seek out translated titles too soon.

Sara’s husband had arranged to go away with friends for the weekend. She receives a voicemail from him saying he has arrived at the cabin, but later that evening gets a call from one of the friends saying Sigurd had not arrived. Who is not telling the truth? Sara does not react to this news as you would think - in that she deletes the voicemail and doesn’t contact the police about her missing husband, but talks to his mother, father, her sister and finally the police.
I found this story quite slow, with very little happening in the first few chapters which made me consider giving up, but I stuck with it, and in fact the pace did pick up with enough information to let me know what happened to Sigurd.
Disappointing, and a bit hard going, this was my first read of a Norwegian translation - not sure I would bother again.

I really enjoyed this book. I will be looking for my by this Author in the future. It took a little while to get into the storyline but once got into it I enjoyed it.

'The Therapist' by Helene Flood is a gripping psychological thriller. With its tense plot and well-developed characters, it's a compelling read that will captivate fans of suspense.

This book is very character driven but it is a very superficial writing style. I didn’t like any of the characters and it felt like they lacked depth.
Not a great book

I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

A noir story about a therapist and her tumultuous relationship with her husband. The husband wind's up dead and Sara must find out the cause of her husbands deceit to find his killer!

An intriguing premise and a good story, although a tad too easy to deduce what was going on. It also felt longwinded in places, maybe because the author is also a therapist so very clinical in writing, or perhaps just lost in translation?

Unfortunately, this archived before I was able to download, therefore I was unable to read this. I have seen a lot of positive reviews though!

This book kept me guessing. and was an easy read. Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review

This was quite a slow burn read and I struggled to keep focused on it at times, I expected it to be a bit more thrilling from the blurb but it just fell a little bit flat for me

Took a while to get into this, slowly got there then got lost again towards the end.
Disappointed as the write up intrigued me. Fell a little flat for me sadly.

A story that took a while to fully grab my attention, but gradually I became fully invested. There's a lot i want to say, but there would definitely be spoilers involved. So I'll just say that the netgalley description being "From the mind of a psychologist comes a chilling domestic thriller that gets under your skin" is 100% true. There are twists and turns i wasn't expecting, with a few loop de loops thrown in for good measure. So many things i didn't see coming and couldn't even guess at. I would definitely recommend this book. 4/5 stars as there were some points when I felt a bit lost, and although written really well, there were some character choices that I just wasn't on board with.

This is a slow-burn, with an atmospheric scene which makes it feel quite dark, cold and grey, a pressuring environment. However, that being said, i struggled with the books and finishing it.

This is certainly a slow-burn but the writing is super atmospheric, I really can't emphasise that enough. The atmosphere really reflects that of the setting- cold, dark, grey. A somewhat predictable ending, but not bad.

Bit of a slow burner in my opinion but that didn’t spoil my enjoyment of it, very good plot and characters and one to look out for!

I liked this book but I also struggled with it. The storyline was great and I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened, but the chapters were long and I found it hard to focus on them at times. I much prefer a shorter chapter when reading thrillers and find it builds the tension and excitement more.

For me this is an average run of the mill thriller, but one I think most people would enjoy. An author I would read again, but equally I wouldn’t be rushing out to buy it either.

The therapist- Helen Flood

I didn’t get a chance to finish as the book expired too quickly. Sorry

Did manage to finish the book but found it quite hard going - the insight from the author is evident however the plot failed to grip as it was such a slow burner - not for me sadly

This psychological drama starts slowly but it’s clever with lots of suspense. Sara a psychologist with some emotional problems and she lives with her husband in a partly renovated house which is very messy. Her husband goes off for a boys weekend and leaves her a voice message to say he arrived but his friends call her to ask where he is as he had not arrived. Sara is confused and worried and reports him missing. He then turns up dead. Sara starts to feel uneasy alone in the house hearing footsteps and objects mysteriously disappear and reappear. She feels she is being watched and the events that follow lead Sara to question everything she has known about the people in her life and the police to doubt her sanity. She fears the person who killed husband is now after her. The characters are have lots of secrets so it’s hard to tell who is telling the truth. The twists were not obvious and the ending unexpected so overall a great read.
