Description

The stunning new thriller from bestselling author Tasha Coryell -- completely original and full of twists.

Alexandra was expecting a nice evening with her fiance 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 fiance 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.
