À propos de cet audio

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 profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot.

Her new boyfriend 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 is dating the guy 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…

Editorial Review

A perfect match or a perfect trap?
In this chilling thriller, readers are thrust into a heart-pounding narrative that explores the dark side of modern dating. Sydney Shaw, like many single women, has had her share of dating nightmares. But when she meets her new boyfriend—a handsome, successful doctor—things finally seem to be falling into place. The romance feels too good to be true, and as it turns out, it just might be. The backdrop of a serial killer stalking women adds a chilling dimension to the plot. The novel excels at tapping into universal fears about dating, particularly the vulnerability that comes with opening yourself up to someone new. The slow reveal of the killer’s identity is masterfully handled, with just enough red herrings to keep readers guessing until the final, heart-stopping twist. —Dawn G., Audible Editor

Overall the book was very good, this was easily read in 2-3 days. Kept you intrigued with the parallel storylines. This would have been a very strong book however I felt the ending was very unrealistic. The climax/conclusion occurred way too quickly. Could have extended another chapter or two for lead in and a slow burn.

Definitely worth a read!

Ok but would have liked more depth into why the characters were the way they were… felt like a rushed story compared to the housemaid and teacher books

Ok…

Loved the twists of the story line, narration is excellent as well as the performance.

A page turner. You can’t put it down.

I had high hopes for this mystery novel, but unfortunately, it fell flat. The story was painfully predictable. There was little suspense or intrigue, making it more of a chore to get through than an exciting page-turner.

The biggest issue for me was the main character, Sydney. She was difficult to connect with—bland, uninspired, and lacking depth. Her choices often felt forced, and instead of rooting for her, I found myself indifferent to her struggles. Without a compelling protagonist, the story felt even more tedious.

The one redeeming quality was the narration. The audiobook version was beautifully performed, with the narrator bringing emotion and energy that the writing itself lacked. If not for the excellent delivery, I might not have finished the book at all.

Overall, while the narration was top-tier, the story itself was dull and uninspired. If you’re looking for a gripping mystery, this one is best left on the shelf.

I think l can write a better story...
