About this listen
It’s my first day back at work, the grief I’m carrying is still with me, but I file it away and put on my professional face to greet my new patient.
As a successful psychiatrist and criminologist, I’m used to working with damaged minds. But I’m not prepared for Trent Davis. Sitting across the table from me, his warm brown eyes shine. He laughs easily and part of me can't help but like him, despite what his file says he’s capable of.
Then a package arrives for Trent, with my home as the return address.
And everything falls apart…
A shocking and pause-resisting thriller with a ‘didn’t see that coming’ twist. The perfect listen for fans of The Silent Patient, Mike Omer and Freida McFadden.

Story
Nevin and Gloria both have successful careers, as well as two adorable kids and a picture-book cottage by the sea. But at forty, Nevin is experiencing some discontent. He’s a successful author, but his latest plot is not for a book. Conspiring with his old friend Felix, he sets a plan in motion that will allow him to escape his marriage—but put all the blame on Gloria. He should have thought it through a little more, though. Everyone has their own agenda, and everything is about to go very wrong. Because there’s no such thing as a perfect marriage—or a perfect crime…

Story
Sharon Stevenson is a forensic psychiatrist. Her job is to decide whether a patient is of sound enough mind to stand trial, not whether they did or didn’t commit a crime. But Sharon is also a mother grieving the disappearance of her seventeen-year-old daughter, Maddie, who has never been found. And what if the man sitting before her, who has been charged with the murders of several women, also claimed the life of her sweet girl? It’s time to find out the truth.

Story
The night my mum disappeared, after a panicked 3am phonecall, I knew something was wrong. The police tried to reassure me. There had to be a logical explanation they said – perhaps she’s taking a break after the tragic death of my father. But I know my mum. Or do I? She would never leave without telling me. Or would she? The harder I look, the more I discover deep, dark family secrets I was not privy to. Worrying secrets I was never meant to know. Which means my parents have lied to me my whole life.

Story
I used to enjoy my job. I was good at it and felt fulfilled. I also used to enjoy spending time with the people I worked with. They say you spend more time with your work colleagues than you do with your family members, but that was fine by me because I made two very good friends at the office. I also allowed myself to get a little too close to my boss, but I soon realized that was a mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late by then, and as my personal and professional lives quickly blurred into one, that was when everything changed.

Story
I take a sip of coffee as I plan my day. My surgeon husband, Cole, slept at work last night, so I had to get the kids ready on my own, again. I can’t complain, though, I’ve loved him ever since we met, long before he became a famous surgeon and the papers started calling him the pride of the hospital. Our latest family photo hangs on the kitchen wall and I remember that day so clearly. Cole screamed at me over nothing, then apologised saying he was stressed at work. My heart pounded with fear, but I plastered a smile on my face for the sake of my children.

Did not love this "Loving Husband" book.....

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It should come with a TRIGGER WARNING. If you’re thinking of reading it, know that it mentions (in detail) the following;
• multiple forms of physical abuse & sexual abuse
• child pornography
• endangerment of child/neglect
• graphic mutilation of animals
• graphic mutilation of humans
• murder
• self harm
• drugs & alcohol abuse/addictions
• mental disorders
Now I have to go scrub my brain and fill it with happiness.

Riveting Story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Writer SA Falk either took a lot of liberty with the role of psychiatrists in prisons/forensic hospitals or she did no research. Hospital and prison forensic psychiatrists work for the justice system and patients aren’t guaranteed confidentiality, unlike they are in the private sector. HIPAA does not apply. Patients do not have the luxury of therapy, due to huge caseloads. Heck, most psychiatrists only dispense meds due to the way services are paid by insurance companies. Most importantly, forensic psychiatrists are not investigators unless they work for the police department (like Dr Skota on Law&Order). Their interests are diagnostic and medical, not investigated.
I saw the twist coming a mile away but still enjoyed the book despite its many flaws.
