Author Introduction
Louise Worthington writes psychological fiction for fans of deeply layered thrillers by Ruth Ware, Tana French, and Alex Michaelides.
She has a passion for exploring the complexity and darker side of the human heart in psychologically-layered tales imbued with strong emotional themes and atmospheric settings from poisonous gardens, medieval dungeons to an isolated property by the sea. After gaining a degree in literature, she taught English in secondary schools for many years and studied psychology. More recently she runs a farm with her husband in Shropshire.
She is the author of six novels, including the psychological thrillers Rachel's Garden and The Entrepreneur, and the gothic horror, Rosie Shadow. Kirkus Review described her debut novel Distorted Days as ‘a formidable work that defies narrative orthodoxy.’ Her flash fiction, poetry and short stories have been widely published in literary magazines in the UK and US, brought together with new stories in the collection Stained Glass Lives.
Blurb
Psychotherapist Emma-Jane Glass has prioritized work over leisure for far too long. She does whatever it takes to help her clients, and it's bordering on professional obsession. When she publishes a controversial article about unstable mothers murdering their children, an anonymous letter arrives on her doorstep:
I will expose you.
Then, I will mutilate you…
Wait for me.
After she is abducted into the night, Doctor Glass finds herself at the mercy of a dangerous sociopath. But being a relentless doctor of the mind, she feels an urge to help her fragile captor, even if it might shatter her sanity-and her life. It becomes a game of survival, and only one mind can win.
My Opinion
Climax which you would not have expected
An absolutely amazing book with some powerful characters. Doctor Glass, a psychological thriller turns out to be a wonderfully written book, a real page turner. At first, I thought that the book is some another thriller which is going to end with the same climax. But, to my surprise the climax was totally different which changes the whole assumption. Some events are so emotional and tear jerking and I even could not resist a tear in my eye.
I would, definitely, give the book 5 stars. Thanks to Louise Worthington for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
