Book Synopsis

Perfect for fans of Richard and Judy picks The Silent Patient and He Said/She Said.

What if the people you trust are the ones you should fear most?

We all recognise them: those who send prickles up the back of our necks. The charmers, the liars, the manipulators. Those who have the potential to go that one step too far. And then take another step.

Each week Jessamine Gooch broadcasts a radio show about convicted killers. But when she is approached for help in solving a current case, around a troubled missing woman, she faiis to realise there is a dark figure closer to home, one that threatens the safety of her own family . . .

Relentlessly gripping, The Dangerous Kind is a thriller that will make you second-guess everyone you meet.

Trade Review
Brilliantly compelling . . . original, timely and very very hard to put down * T.M. Logan *
Searingly relevant, at times uncomfortably truthful, a page turner and an empathetic look at fractured modern lives. But more than all that, the writing, the writing, the writing . . . I loved every word * Gillian McAllister *
The Dangerous Kind is an absolute triumph. Dark, uncompromising but full of heart. It gave me goosebumps and I raced through it in a matter of days. Highly recommended * Holly Seddon *
Absolutely brilliant . . . a really sophisticated, smart, engaging thriller. One of my favourite reads this year * Jo Spain *
Dark, disturbing, devilishly plotted. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough * Chris Whitaker *
Gritty, gripping, and timely thriller * Heat magazine *
A highly topical, psychological thriller that flicks between past and present, through four central character perspectives * Woman's Way *
An emotive and atmospheric read ... enthralling and utterly addictive. * CrimeReview.co.uk *
