Matchmaking for Psychopaths
The stunning new thriller from bestselling author Tasha Coryell — completely original and full of twists.
Alexandra was expecting a nice evening with her fiancé for her birthday. Instead, her best friend is sitting next to her man, and what’s worse: They’re in love.
To escape her relationship troubles, Alexandra throws herself into her job where she works as a matchmaker for psychopaths-a label that the clients themselves are unaware of-and becomes entangled with two of her most recent clients, both of whom have mysterious pasts that inspire Alexandra to breech work protocol and spend time with them outside of the office.
One of them, Rebecca, becomes a candidate to take on the role of Alexandra’s new best friend, while the other, Aidan, claims that he’s her soulmate, despite her insistence that her significant other is going to return in time for their scheduled wedding.
When her fiancé goes missing and threatening packages begin arriving at her doorstep, Alexandra has to figure out who is trying to target her and how it relates to her own dark past. Can she trust her instincts as a matchmaker or has she set herself up with her enemy?
Matchmaking for Psychopaths is an unbelievably twisty and gripping read about obsession, filled with Tasha Coryell’s signature observational humour and satirical slant. Perfect for fans of Butter.

A gender-flipped Dexter thrown in a blender with a Hollywood romcom, Matchmaking for Psychopaths is wild, suspenseful, and fiendishly smart. I found this poisoned love letter to romance, sex, and murder impossible to put down. Tasha Coryell has crafted a story so entertaining you might not realize just how deep it's sunk its claws into you until the last breathless page.
There is real vulnerability and softness in this story... Supremely readable and unexpected. Tasha has a voice that is very much her own! I like how she looks at the effects of loneliness with a new lens - how do the decisions we make when we're feeling truly alone ripple out into our wider lives? I'll never think of Valentine's Day in the same way again... I don't doubt that other readers will also fall in love with the damaged but well-intentioned Lexie and hope the book does really, really well
Devious, propulsive, and oh-so-twisty, MATCHMAKING FOR PSYCHOPATHS is a romp not to be missed!
Matchmaking for Psychopaths by Tasha Coryell is SO MUCH FUN... Impressively ASTUTE on male/female dynamics.
Bloody brilliant. A wildly original take on the difficulties of love and friendship in today's society. Coryell masterfully weaves a thrilling dark romance that will make you believe some psychopaths deserve a happy ending.
I LOVED this book. I tore through it in a day. I think it's even better than Love Letters! Absolutely loved the clever twist on the matchmaking-romance trope. It was so up my street, it was practically parked on my drive! Gripping, tense and funny in all the right ways, I couldn't put it down.
I loved this! A brilliant blend of dark humour and gripping suspense, delivering a fresh and thrilling exploration of obsession and identity.
