"A therapist must face her own worst fear--one of her patients is a serial killer. Dani Rycroft suspects someone close to her has a dark secret. In the confidential setting of therapy, her patients share their anxieties and fears. Now, with a string of murders in town putting her on edge, Dani's own worries come close to eclipsing her patients'. In each case, the pattern is the same: parents killed while their children sleep blissfully unaware in their beds. Her best friend, Detective Tami Sloan, is the only person she has confided in. Dani believes that there's still a secret one patient has yet to share. But which one? Behind a familiar face is a stranger who'll do anything to hide their worst compulsions. The anxiety brings Dani to her own therapist's office, seeking counsel and comfort. But what is she willing to risk, and how much closer must she get, to stop them?"--Provided by publisher.… (meer)

Beat Down Of The Ages - With Avatar Ending. There is another Lake Union author whose books I *love* and who is known for writing about a particular idea and spinning amazing stories about it. Here, Holmes walks onto that author's turf and absolutely *destroys* her. That is how much *better* than those other ones this book is - and remember, I *loved* those other books (indeed, I've rated all of them 5*). It *does* have an Avatar-style ending though, and it worked it well to allow for either a true standalone book or even the possibility of coming back to this world. Simply an excellent book, and if this represents a new direction for Holmes, I can't wait to see what else she puts out! ( )

A therapist, Danielle Rycroft, has 3 patients. She is believes one is a serial killer who targets ‘bad’ parents in order to give their children a better life. This book takes you into the mind of a therapist and her patients. Its an eye opening experience to say the least. The author does a good job of leading you down a rabbit hole in this Alice in Wonderland character loving lead. Although the killer is slowly revealed and not so much a ‘wow, I didn’t see it coming’, the ending is worthy of the buildup.

I enjoyed the writing, the story flowed being told over a two week period thru the eyes of Dr. Rycroft and her 3 patients, including flashbacks.

I received an ARC from NetGalley. Opinion is mine alone! ( )

This was a very interesting book. Lots of twists and turns but very good. A little darker maybe than Ms. Holmes usual fare. Seems like there may be more coming. We can only hope and wait.
I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher and voluntarily chose to review it.

The Patient is a character-driven psychological thriller, pitting therapist Danielle Rycroft against the threat of a string of murders—could one of her patients be the killer?

When the killer’s point of view is added to the mix, this becomes a fascinating mystery that, yes, some readers will solve on their own. But it draws you in to question everyone’s motives, and it’s darkly compelling.

Certainly there are clues in the tale. And red herrings. Well drawn backstory too. And a well-directed plot that sticks to its point without following any extra trails. The mystery is who is killing these children’s parents, and how will Danielle figure it out.

Friends, strangers and patients come together, and if it all seems unconvincing at times, the final revelations surely prove every step had to be this way. I guessed, mostly, but still enjoyed the read.

Disclosure: I got it on a deal. ( )
