Advance Praise
“Fans of mind-bending psychological thrillers will appreciate this tangled tale.
From the opening pages, Webb’s story teems with intrigue, mystery, and enticing uncertainty. Readers are thrust into Oscar’s anxiety-stricken world as he awaits Jessica’s arrival. Time-alternating chapters between Jessica’s then and Oscar’s build suspense and provide critical background information, while revealing character and teasing out the pleasingly layered and perplexing truth.
Great for fans of: Alex Michaelides’s The Silent Patient, Lisa Scottoline’s Every Fifteen Minutes.”
—Booklife Reviews
“How to Spot a Psychopath creates a winning suspense story of family interactions and newfound connections as it contrasts the experiences and perceptions of adults and children alike. Its unexpected moments of psychological discovery make for a delightful story especially recommended for mystery and suspense readers looking for more psychological depth and interpersonal revelations than most thriller genre reads offer.”

This book had me hooked from the first two pages til the end of the book ! I loved Oscars character and how he longed to help Jess so badly whether she killed mia or not. He claimed be wanted to find Mia but I got the feeling he felt that Jess had been railroaded just like he had when his son died. I was stuck going back and forth between Jess and Holly ( mias mom) trying to figure out who is really responsible for mias disappearance and I was so surprised at the end of the book. Two shocking details come out that I would have never guessed. This is definately a five star read and I will be recommending this in all the groups I'm I'm..

I loved this book. It was a page turner with a refreshing take on the psychopath storyline.
Jess, is accused of kidnapping another mother's child during a playdate at her house. Her psychiatrist, Oscar, tries to figure out what happened and is forced to confront his own problems.
There were points where I was pretty emotional and felt for Oscar and Jess.
The book went between then and now and I was trying to guess how the kidnapping was going to happen and who was responsible. I loved the twist at the end!
