A fresh new edition of this witty, gripping story of romance and mystery from the author of the 2024 No. 1 bestselling Australian fiction title.

'A warmly humorous, gently poignant, ultimately comforting tale of frustration and redemption . . . ' - USA Today

As a hypnotherapist, Ellen O'Farrell is fascinated by what makes people tick. So when she falls in love with Patrick, the fact that he has a stalker doesn't faze her in the slightest. If anything, it intrigues her, and the more she hears about Saskia, the more she wants to meet this woman. But what she doesn't know is that they've already met.

Saskia has been posing as one of Ellen's clients. Unable to let go of the life she so abruptly lost, she wants to know everything about the woman who took her place.

But it's not only Saskia who doesn't know when to stop: Ellen also has to ask herself what lines she's prepared to cross to get the happy ending she's always wanted.

Praise for The Hypnotist's Love Story:

'Superb in technique . . . All of her novels set themselves extremely difficult tasks . . . The novel blends elements of crime, horror and love story' - Sunday Age

'Love is not black and white . . . fascinating and compassionate fiction' - Daily Telegraph

'A compelling love triangle . . . romance with an edge . . . the latest triumph . . . What lifts this tale to another plane is the level of empathy that runs through the narrative' - Australian Women's Weekly Book of the Month
