The boyfriend

Freida McFadden

Book - 2024

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She's seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman- the latest in a string of deaths across the coast- confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them. Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her dreams. But she can't shake her own suspicions that the perfect... man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn't get to the truth, she'll be the killer's next victim...

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Bestseller McFadden's jaw-dropping latest (after The Housemaid Is Watching) keeps the author's trademark twists coming fast and furious. Thirty-four and unhappily single, Sydney Shaw haunts the popular dating app Cynch, where she matches with a string of losers. One night, while Sydney fights off the unwanted advances of her latest date, a handsome stranger comes to her rescue. He turns out to be a doctor named Tom Brewer, and soon he and Sydney strike up a relationship. All goes well until Sydney's neighbor turns up dead, and her ex-boyfriend, homicide detective Jake Sousa, is assigned to the case. Jake links the murder to a string of killings across New York City--many facilitated by the use of Cynch--and Sydney starts to worry that her new boyfriend is hiding something deadly. McFadden toggles between Sydney's perspective in the present and Tom's in the past, while he carries on a relationship with a woman named Daisy. It all comes together with a series of hard-to-predict but fair-play surprises that reward rereading. McFadden extends her hot streak with this canny exploration of love, death, and dating. Agent: Christine Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency. (Oct.)
