About this ebook
The Patient
Behind the tall gates of her Notting Hill townhouse, Effie Locke seems to have it all, a career to die for and a devoted husband who can't get enough of her. So when a reckless mistake lands her in court-mandated therapy, everyone is shocked to discover her perfect life has cracks, including Effie.
Week after week, inside Mark's office, Effie tries to piece together how she got there. There are gaps in her memory and trusting doesn't come easy to her, but there is something about her therapist that makes her feel safe; like she can trust him with the secrets she can barely even admit to herself.
The Therapist
Mark Wright is trained to listen, to observe, to stay detached. But there's something about Effie he can't help but be drawn to, something that feels oddly familiar. Soon, he starts wondering how safe she really is behind the gates of her picture-perfect house. And, against his better judgement, Mark starts sharing his own secrets.
But when a body is found at Effie's address on Elgin Crescent it turns out, once a secret is spoken, it never stays buried... not even under patient confidentiality.
Your therapist's job is to keep your secrets. But what happens when your therapist has secrets of his own?
