I recently read my first Theo Baxter book so when I saw this Box Set available, I jumped at it. My favorite here is It’s Your Turn Now. I love a new take on a classic and that’s what we had here. Second would be The Scorned Wife. That one hit a little close to home. The Step Father will introduce you to one of the world’s worst mothers. The Widow’s Secret was last on the list, thought still a good, quick read. Theo Baxter’s characters do feel a little flat sometimes but the stories carry along nicely and have satisfying conclusions.
This is my first go at this authors work, and I was blown away! 4 stories with great plots and twists. I would read more by this author! I highly recommend!!
The Stepfather:
LOVED this book!
Love the characters and the roles they played.
Read this book in a few hours. Couldn’t put it down!
You have to read this author! One of my favorites.
It’s Your Turn Now:
It’s Your Turn Now is definitely a different triller than most. There were times I was disgusted with Daisy, the main character but by the end she toughened up to be a force to be reckoned with.
If you want someone dead do you hire it done, murder in exchange for murder or just do it yourself? You’ll have to read this book to find out.
The Scorned Wife:
What a life! How does a young woman live with her family always down on her? Always accusing her of wrong doing.
For Amelia it was hiring a male escort to a family get together who will play the part of her boyfriend and deny her younger sister what she wants. All to make her family see how miserable they are and how miserable they have treated her her whole life.
Even though the results are what she hoped for she soon realizes the escort isn’t who she thought he was and has now been forced into hiding to get away from his stalking, murdering behavior.
Story kept my interest but wasn’t as exciting as it originally sounded.
The Widow’s Secret:
Another good story by Baxter. I love to read about female characters who get a backbone and stand on their own two feet. I loved Jeremy and wish we could of gotten a little
more into that story.
Baxter has become a favorite of mine and I can’t wait to read more by this author.
Very good psych thrillers. 4 stories to keep your heart pounding. Plenty of twists in these books. Definitely worthy the read. Loved them all!
I'd highly recommend these books to anyone who likes this genre. Absolutely riveting and I will be reading any more of his stuff available. Believable 3d characters and an intriguing storyline.
Thank you to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the ARC
This was a box set includes three psychological thrillers by Theo Baxter. They're all fast paced and twisty. Constantly kept on the edge of your seat and kept guessing for how the story will continue. The characters aren't particular likable but that doesn't hinder the enjoyment of the books. And you're hit with plot twist after plot twist.
I haven’t read much from this author so thought I would give these a read and wow I am so glad I did. Each story was unique with such well developed characters and many twists and turns. Each one was fast paced which I loved I definitely stayed up late to finish these as I just couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to recommend these and read more from this amazing author. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review these great books.
I enjoyed every one of these books from the beginning to the end. Each book was well-written, and the characters were well-developed. I was up until the wee hours of the morning wondering what would happen next. When I read a good book, I can't put it down until I find out how it will end.
A new author for me and I was very impressed. All had twists and turns and fast paced and very enjoyable to read. They can also be read as standalones. Very good psychological thrillers. I will definitely look to read more by this author as I was so impressed with the style of writing.
All 4 books were great plus gripping and fast paced. Great standalones. This author is amazing would recommend any of these books to people who ask
I am a big fan of Theo Baxters work, and I thoroughly enjoyed this box set of four psychological thrillers. The four stories are stand alone novels....
The Stepfather,
It's Your Turn Now,
The Scorned Wife,
The Widows Secret.
Each one has the plot twists and turns which are so enjoyable in a psychological thriller, and I had trouble putting these books down. I loved this collection, and binge read the books. Highly recommended.
The Psychological Thriller Box Set by Theo Baxter is a brilliant 4 book box set containing four different books.
I enjoyed all four books.
One thing I've noticed with Theo Baxter is the books ive read of his so far are all fast paced (which i love) they are all very twisty and exciting to read.
These books make you want to binge read them one after the other.
This Psychological box set contains
1. The Stepfather
2. It's your turn
3. The scorned wife
4. The widow's secret
All really good books.
Highly recommend this author.
I loved this. It;s quite unique in it's style and each story was an easy but good tale.
I especially enjoyed The Stepfather, but each one had it's appeal.
Each story had twists and drama and I was intrigued and excited.
Really good and recommended
Really enjoyed these books and would recommend as a light, easy psychological thriller. Not the best books in the world but creepy stories and easy to read xx
This box set was something else. Being a huge fan of Frieda McFadden and reading other authors work is challenging but this author delivered on my expectations.
All four book in this box set had me glued to my kindle. Some cons I have were it gets a little repetitive in certain parts of each book for example in book 1 he was constantly repeated that Damon didn’t like George over and over but you tune the repetition out cause the plot gets good.
So over all I’d say read this set and you won’t regret it!!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.
Theo Baxter’s Psychological Thriller Box Set is a masterclass in suspense and psychological intrigue. This collection, comprising four gripping novels, is a must-read for fans of the genre. Each book is a standalone story, yet they all share Baxter’s signature style: intricate plots, unexpected twists, and deeply flawed characters that keep you guessing (and reading)..
Book 1: The Stepfather
The opening novel sets a high bar with its chilling narrative. A Stepfather is hiding secrets (and a criminal past) from his new family as his intuitive stepdaughter and her clever Father work to expose his secrets. They also work to break the daughter's Mom's unwavering faith and trust in a man who is utterly undeserving. The pacing is relentless, and the twists are relentless, culminating in a finale that will leave readers breathless.
Book 2: It's your turn Now - a clever spin on Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is clever and engaging, and full of Baxter's clever twists.
Book 3: The Scorned Wife - a woman who's husband betrays her in the worst way imaginable with a family member. The now ex-wife stumbles in the perfect plan to settle old scores, but of course the author doesn't leave things there, as sometimes revenge can be a knife that cuts the person wielding it at least as deeply as it cuts the intended victim...
Book 4: - The Widow's Secret - An unsuspecting sweetheart of a kind and trusting wife has her world upended by betrayal and secrets. Each story in this collection is stellar - in this one the wife ends up jailed, luckily a few people (including a charming detective) believe in her innocence.
Theo Baxter’s Psychological Thriller Box Set is a testament to his prowess as a storyteller. Each novel is meticulously crafted, with complex characters and plots that keep you on the edge of your seat. Baxter’s ability to create an atmosphere of suspense and unease is unparalleled, making this box set a must-have for any fan of psychological thrillers.
Every story in this collection is a stellar addition, the collection as a whole is a crowning achievement for the author.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the genre or new to Baxter’s work, this collection is sure to captivate and thrill. Highly recommended for those who enjoy well-crafted plots, unexpected twists, and engaging characters.
A brilliant collection of gripping thrillers that keeps you turning the pages, fantastic as are all books by Theo Baxter! Highly recommend these.

This set is a must read for anyone who enjoys a good old psychological drama.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my early copy.
Amazing box set. I have never read anything by this author. These are quick, thrillers with some twists to keep you guessing.. This has four very different thrillers and I liked The Widows Secret best.
Every book that this author writes, you can guarantee that he will take you through so many twists and turns that you did not see coming. Never disappoints and highly recommend.
