About this listen

She's looking for the perfect man. He's looking for the perfect victim.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot.

Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet.

Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her dreams. But she can’t shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn’t get to the truth, she’ll be the killer’s next victim...

Editorial Review

A perfect match or a perfect trap?
In this chilling thriller, readers are thrust into a heart-pounding narrative that explores the dark side of modern dating. Sydney Shaw, like many single women, has had her share of dating nightmares. But when she meets her new boyfriend—a handsome, successful doctor—things finally seem to be falling into place. The romance feels too good to be true, and as it turns out, it just might be. The backdrop of a serial killer stalking women adds a chilling dimension to the plot. The novel excels at tapping into universal fears about dating, particularly the vulnerability that comes with opening yourself up to someone new. The slow reveal of the killer’s identity is masterfully handled, with just enough red herrings to keep readers guessing until the final, heart-stopping twist. —Dawn G., Audible Editor

Horrible! When Tom spoke, I felt like I was hearing a version of Dick and Jane from grade school. I have really enjoyed some of her books. I hate wasting a credit.

The story whole thing is agonizing to listen to.

AAAAAHHHH!!!! I had this figured out. I was so freaking sure of it. I just knew it. And the moment came, and BANG this is the result, and YAS I nailed it, but then a moment later, just kidding, the actual twist, and SHIIIIIIIITT!!!! How? How does she always trick me? Gah. Freida! Not fair!.

There's a lot I love about this book, hence the 5 start review. There are so many characters moving around in this story, which is a bit more complex than other Freida books, IMO, and the development is great. I found myself shouting aloud, as happens sometimes when Freidaing in my home. The story is both fast paced and takes its time to unfold the mystery, which is a feat by itself.

I don't want to post spoilers, but if you typically like Freida, I think she nailed it with this. Absolutely would recommend.

HOLY HELL FREIDA, HOW?

I listened to the whole book hoping a big “gotcha” ending would be worth the time. It wasn’t.

Trite and uninteresting
