A therapist must face her own worst fear - one of her patients is a serial killer.

Danielle Rycroft suspects someone close to her has a dark secret. In the confidential setting of therapy, her patients share their anxieties and fears. Now, with a string of murders in town putting her on edge, Danielle’s own worries come close to eclipsing her patients’. In each case, the pattern is the same: parents killed while their children sleep blissfully unaware in their beds. Her best friend, Detective Tami Sloan, is the only person she has confided in.

Danielle believes that there’s still a secret one patient has yet to share. But which one? Behind a familiar face is a stranger who’ll do anything to hide their worst compulsions. The anxiety brings Danielle to her own therapist’s office, seeking counsel and comfort. But what is she willing to risk, and how much closer must she get, to stop them?

I guessed the ending only 1/3 of the way in. I thought maybe it was going to surprise me, but sadly it didn’t. Not a bad story and I liked the wonderland references but other than that, the story wasn’t unique. The narrator wasn’t the best by any means, but not as awful as other reviewers seemed to think in my opinion.

Too predictable

Red herrings mixed with subtle (and not so subtle) hints will keep you reading (listening) and guessing! The identity of the patient may surprise you and their sad childhood and subsequent life touches on real issues in today’s society. A good psychological thriller/mystery‼️

Red Herrings Abound

I could not finish this book because of the person reading it. This was a great story but it was read as if it was a children's story.

I loved the story, and I usually like this narrator, but the breathy, yet whiny childlike voice she had for one of the characters was too much, and it ruined the audiobook for me.

Terrible narration.

This book grabbed my attention and kept it through the end. I could stop listening.
