I have a scarred man who wants my help. Why won’t he take no for an answer? Now he’s sending weird gifts to my home. I don’t feel safe anymore.

Some scars never heal...

I know I’m lucky. I have a stunning Cheltenham apartment and a charming weekend cottage in Devon. Chris, my partner, is kind and supportive. He loves me in spite of my scars—the result of a childhood incident I don’t talk about. Most of all, I love my job, helping young women with eating disorders.

But I can’t help everyone, as I tell Kyle Stannard. Kyle was once a top male model—before he was left horrifically scarred in a random attack. Kyle thinks we’re the same, but I can’t help him with his problems. It’s not my field.

Then creepy things start to happen. A box of chocolates shows up—but it’s not from Chris. A beautiful mirror is delivered to my home, but I didn’t order it. Silent phone calls in the dead of night.

It must be Kyle. He’s completely obsessed.

But the police don’t believe me. So I take matters into my own hands. I need to uncover Kyle’s secrets. But the deeper I dig, the weirder it gets.

What if Kyle isn’t my stalker? What if the person who wants to destroy me lies much closer to home...

The Patient is an exhilarating blend of domestic suspense and nail-biting tension with a breathtaking twist. Perfect for fans of Patricia MacDonald, Lisa Jewell, Shalini Boland, T.M. Logan, and Clare Mackintosh.

I found the story compelling enough to read to the end but there were so many plot holes and unnecessary bits. Like why Google stalking cases, read about someone else, and immediately take that as gospel proof of what will happen to you?!

Storyline a slow start but kept me engaged throughout. Good twist near the end. A super plus, it didn’t end flat as many books do unfortunately. I would definitely recommend this read/listen.

It was a first that the culprit was not whom I thought it was.

Loved this story and the way it was narrated. Worth five stars I have given. Looking forward to reading the next book by this author.

Gripping story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

An absorbing listen. The two key characters battle loss, challenge truth and lies whilst enduring physical and mental angst.
There is cruelty, various types of abuse, horror and emotional challenges and reawakenings.
Uncomfortable listening at times but thought provoking throughout.

Full of assorted emotional challenge.

This was just ok. Far too many characters that it actually was difficult to follow & more like hard work trying to decipher who was who, especially around 3/4 way through. In the end I didn’t bother.. countless names just getting thrown about with no real meaning to the story. The main character was very annoying, jumping from one conclusion to another, not very bright considering she was meant to be a clinical psychologist. The narrator was also annoying at the start, over acting the anger & anxiety. Luckily this subsides as the book progresses.

So many characters!
