Criminal Profiler

She profiles killers for a living.
She knows their patterns, their tells, their lies.
But one predator has found the perfect way inside her mind.

Dr. Emma Walters has spent her career dissecting the psychology of murder.

But when a string of women is found dead across Chicago—each believing they’d finally found love—Emma is pulled into a case that feels disturbingly personal.

Her new relationship with Alex, the charming artist who seems too good to be true, offers comfort she desperately needs… until his insights feel a little too precise.

And Claire, Emma’s closest friend—the one person she trusts—keeps acting like she’s hiding something Emma should already know.

As Emma searches for the truth, her own memories stop cooperating.

Evidence contradicts experience.
Conversations feel rehearsed.
And the killer always seems one step ahead—anticipating her moves, mirroring her thoughts, tightening the net.

Someone understands her patterns.
Someone is using her expertise against her.

And the closer Emma gets to uncovering the truth, the more she realizes—

In this game, the most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

A razor-sharp psychological thriller about identity, obsession, and the terrifying line between love and manipulation—where catching the monster may mean confronting the darkness inside your own mind.

★★★★★
“A masterclass in paranoia and psychological warfare.”

Twisted

I read many books like this and even the really good ones I can normally figure out…at least have several different suspects/scenarios and even with a twist normally not too far off. This plot twist at the end…I did not see coming at all. 👏 to the author.
