Description
The Blame Game is a dark, entertaining and suspenseful thriller from Sandie Jones, the author of The Other Woman and The Guilt Trip. There are two sides to every story as a psychologist and her client become entangled in each other's lives.
'A brilliant page-turner' - Sarah Pearse, author of The Retreat
There are two sides to every story.
He came to me for help with his marriage.
I was alone and afraid. She was there when I needed to talk.
I needed to make him understand that he had to get away.
I knew what I needed to do. I just couldn't do it on my own. I trusted her.
Now it has gone too far. And I can't tell anyone what I have done.
Now I have nowhere to turn and I just pray they find me before she does.
And then there's the truth.

'Will leave you breathless' - Liv Constantine, author of The Stranger in the Mirror
'A perfect beach read' - Kristin Hannah, author of The Four Winds
'Twisting, suspenseful, artfully tricksy' - C. M. Ewan, author of The Interview
