Whitaker Is it worse to deceive to your husband or the police?
Rikke is lying to them both. But how many lies can she get away
with? When her upstairs neighbour Jørgen is found murdered, she's
questioned alongside her husband. How can she admit that she and
Jørgen were having an affair? Or explain to the police the
complexity of her feelings? The hint of relief that he's dead. And
what would they say if they knew she used a spare key to enter his
apartment the morning after he was killed? Rikke knows she can't
hide the evidence of the affair from the police. And if she's
caught in her lie, suspicion will turn to her. With her perfect
family life threatening to unravel, Rikke realises that finding the
killer is the only way to put herself in the clear. So long as the
killer doesn't get to her first. Praise for The Therapist "Creepy,
compelling and very well written" Harriet Tyce "Wonderfully creepy,
twisty and compelling" Karen Hamilton "Masterfully paced and
hauntingly written" Anna Bailey "Gets under your skin" Jo Spain "I
couldn't put it down" Sarah Ward "A marvellously assured debut
thriller" Irish Times. "A striking debut" Spectator Translated from
the Norwegian by Alison McCullough
