Reviews
I was completely drawn into the world of The Therapist's Secret. Twisty, crackling with tension and emotionally taut - this is a fantastic second outing for Kingsley Pearson.
A new twist on the psychological thriller straight from the psychologist's chair. Strongly drawn characters (loved Alba!) and a great plot deftly bound together by a string of dark secrets. A new voice in the psychological thriller canon. Unmissable!
A bold and thrilling suspense story with an original setting. Pearson's narrative shines a light on the struggles of a flailing NHS service and the divisions and prejudices in contemporary society. I tore through this with a delicious sense of unease
A claustrophobic, quintessentially English island hosts a contemporary thriller, with its hairpin turns, sharp psychological insights and unflinching study of repression and prejudice. THE THERAPIST'S SECRET asks who you can trust with your deepest, darkest secrets, and offers uneasy answers
