    About this ebook

    'An excellent thriller writer who delivers great psychological insights' --Mark Roberts'Full of authenticity and gravitas' --Daily TelegraphNatalie King is back: back from a stay on the psych ward. Her reluctance to live a quiet life has contributed to a severe depressive episode, and now it's time for a retreat to the country, and a low-key research job at a provincial university nearby.But Natalie and trouble have a strange mutual fascination. Her charismatic new boss Frank is friendly, even attractive. But it turns out his pregnant wife is an old enemy of Natalie's. And when Frank's tragic personal history is revealed - then reprised in the most shocking way - Natalie finds herself drawn deep into a mystery. And even deeper into danger.A harrowing and thrilling mystery. Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Lisa Gardner and Lynda la PlanteWhat Reviewers and Readers Say:'Satisfying and twisty.' --Robert Goodman, PS News'Buist has delivered a well-constructed mystery... that manages to keep twisting through to the last couple of pages.' --AustCrime'Deeply engaging, edge-of-your-seat reading... The Natalie King series is a thrilling and dynamic exploration of fractured psyches and broken heroes. If you love your crime with Australian flair and more than a little danger, Buist is an author you need to look into.' --Caroline Russo, Hush Hush Biz'Insights into mental health, that reflect Buist's background in this area, are combined with action and suspense to make this an interesting and compelling book.' --The Big Book Club

      Following Medea's Curse, this is the second book featuring forensic psychiatrist Natalie King. Ideally, these should be read in order. There are several threads that continue on from the previous book. Although I read Medea's Curse last September, I found it difficult to get my bearings and remember who was who and how things had been left at the end of book 1. There wasn't much of a recap to help me along. Once I got past that little issue though, I found this installment even better than the first book. Anne Buist has extensive experience in the field of psychiatry and that clearly shows in her writing. This is a book that will appeal to readers who have an interest in psychotherapy and who enjoy analyzing people. In addition, you get an intriguing and very dark mystery as Natalie becomes involved in the life of her new supervisor, Professor Frank Moreton. Frank's first wife died during pregnancy and his second wife, now also pregnant, is an old enemy of Natalie's. Plenty of twists and turns are followed by a conclusion that was as chilling as it was suspenseful and a real nail biter. There are brief chapters from Frank's first person perspective, which were creepy and fascinating. The remainder follows Natalie as she continues to struggle with her own mental health issues, her professional and her personal life. The romantic elements of the story were entertaining, although, to be fair, there isn't actually anything romantic about Natalie's relationship with Damian or with Liam. But it all added another layer to the very complex character that is Natalie. I think Ms. Buist has created a fantastic character in Natalie. She's flawed, she's unique, she's likeable and I am very much looking forward to finding out what life has in store for Natalie in book 3. Thanks to Legend Press for making an ARC available.
