About this listen

 IS SHE A VICTIM, A WITNESS . . . OR A KILLER?
'Clever, chilling and unputdownable' CLAIRE DOUGLAS, bestselling author of THE COUPLE AT NO.9

Laura Winters doesn't know why she has lost her memory, or why she was found alone, soaked in someone else's blood.

The only thing she is certain of is that I am the only psychologist she can - or will - talk to.

I have six days to help Laura unlock her memories and find out the truth.

But what has she forgotten - and what is she hiding?

And how does she know so much about me?
The most addictive thriller you'll read this year, with a twist that will leave you reeling - perfect for fans of THE SILENT PATIENT.

Critic reviews

I inhaled Patient X. Such a clever, chilling and unputdownable thriller. A masterclass in plotting with a killer twist that made me want to go back to the beginning and read it all over again. The shocks keep coming until the very last page. Stunning! (Claire Douglas)
The Woman in Ward 9 wrapped itself tighter and tighter around me until I could hardly breathe. A surefire hit from an author to watch. (S E Lynes)
Dark, twisted and razor-sharp. You'll be racing towards a nail-biting ending and then you'll want to read it all over again. (Lauren North)
So well written and with twists and turns at every juncture, this is a story that keeps you guessing right until the last word. Don't expect to sleep if you take this one to bed, because you'll be up until the sun rises. (G. D. Wright)
Dripping with tension and a creeping sense of unease, The Woman in Ward 9 is an utterly gripping, mess-with-your-mind thriller infused with clever twists that will shock and enthral you right to the breathtaking denouement. Unmissable! (A A Chaudhuri)

OH. MY. GOD! This is one of those books that makes you rewind all the scenes in your head to re-live them with fresh eyes and then you go OH YES!! Fuck. What a thriller. Claustrophobic and twisty and shocking. I’d love to see this one as a TV drama. FIVE STARS and then some.

Wow!

Loved this book. Story was great and the twist at the end in the epilogue was great

from the first pages this book grabs hold, and hurls one along its twisted path with a vengeance only matched by the plotting of the guilty party. the final twisted denouement is brilliant and the continually held breath is expelled with relief.... then comes the final twist!

worth more than a 5*
