THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

A twisting psychological thriller from the author of The Coworker and The Housemaid.

Once again, Freida McFadden proves that crimes of passion are often the bloodiest – and shows readers why her books continue to go viral on TikTok.

***

She’s looking for the perfect man. He’s looking for the perfect victim.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profiles, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can’t shut up about their mothers. Until she meets Tom.

Tom is utterly perfect. He’s charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet.

Then the brutal murder of a young woman – the latest in a string of deaths across the coast – confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Sydney should feel safe. After all, she has Tom, the man of her dreams. But she can’t shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn’t get to the truth, she’ll be the killer’s next victim…

A dark crime thriller about obsession and the things we’ll do for love, this page-turning murder mystery will have you hooked through every twist and turn.

***

The nightmare she’s running from is nothing compared to where she’s headed…

Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn’t realise she’s heading straight into a blizzard.

She never arrives at her destination.

Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she’s made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears.

But something isn’t right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realise she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn’t what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet.

And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself – and her unborn child.

A gut-wrenching story of motherhood, survival, and twisted expectations from the master of mystery and suspense, Freida McFadden delivers a snowbound thriller that will chill you to the bone.
