About this listen

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.

Just finished this novel, I recommend as something different. It made me think about disabilities, physical, mental, and the ways we are perceived by others. the effects our childhood has on our lives. It's well written, takes a while to get into, but well worth perseverance

love, disfigurement, thriller

Took me by surprise as I was listening and then suddenly I was drawn in and couldn’t stop…

Stumbled across this and thoroughly enjoyed it

Story was a little drawn out and long but towards the end I was more interested.
I was surprised by the villain.
I enjoyed it and would try another by the same author.

Got as a freebie. Shows promise

I got half way through before I just couldn’t listen anymore as the irritation for the protagonist’s stupidity over took the ability to follow the story. She is supposed to be a psychologist, I’m a psychologist and quite frankly she’s an insult to the profession.

The protagonists stupidity is irritating
