From the mind of a psychologist comes a chilling domestic thriller that gets under your skin.

“Creepy, compelling and very well written” Harriet Tyce

At first it’s the lie that hurts.

A voicemail from her husband tells Sara he’s made it to the holiday cabin. Then a call from his friend reveals h enever arrived. The only possibility: one of them is lying

She tries to carry on as normal, teasing out her therapy clients’ deepest fears, but as the hours stretch out, her own begin to surface. And when the police finally take an interest, they want to know why she deleted that voicemail.

Alone in their creepy, inherited house, she can’t help feeling she’s being watched, that someone’s trying to get inside her head. To get to the root of her husband’s disappearance, Sara must question every aspect of their relationship.

Is the key to what happened a secret she already knows?

Reviews

Sarah Ward, author of Bitter Chill
A sharply observed thriller with a plot packed full of psychological suspense. I couldn't put it down.
Chris Whitaker
Dark, absorbing and richly complex. Helene Flood is a wonderful storyteller and The Therapist kept me guessing till the final, devilish twists.
Anna Bailey, author of Tall Bones
Masterfully paced and hauntingly written, The Therapist creeps up on you and leaves you looking over your shoulder long after you've turned the last page.
Jo Spain
Tense and atmospheric, this psychological thriller gets under your skin. Helene Flood keeps presenting questions to her reader, sending us every which way, as she builds towards the stunning and satisfying conclusion.
Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect Girlfriend
Wonderfully creepy, twisty and compelling, with a rising sense of dread that will keep readers turning the pages right through to the unexpected ending.

Creepy, compelling and very well-written. The Norwegian setting and the questions it poses about crime and punishment are particularly interesting.
Breda Brown, Irish Independent.
Tense and atmospheric . . . Well plotted with plenty of unexpected twists and turns.
