Beneath Laura’s stories of an idyllic life and a boyfriend almost too good to be true, Emma begins to unravel a darker truth. But as she listens to Laura’s story, she begins to draw chilling parallels between her patient’s life and her own. The man Laura describes sounds uncannily similar to Emma’s own husband…
Is she entering the mind of a victim, a witness – or a killer?
With tension you could cut with a knife and twists that will have your head spinning, PATIENT X is sure to keep you reading late into the night.

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.
Dripping with tension and a creeping sense of unease, Patient X 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!
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!
Patient X wrapped itself tighter and tighter around me until I could hardly breathe. A surefire hit from an author to watch.
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.
