★★★☆☆
I usually enjoy Loreth Anne White’s writing, she’s vert good at crafting gripping who-dunnits with unexpected twists and layered characters. The Patient’s Secret has all the ingredients: a mysterious death, an idyllic coastal setting with dark undercurrents, and a network of secrets waiting to unravel.
The story follows Lily Bradley, a respected therapist in a small town, whose carefully controlled life starts to fall apart when a woman is found dead at the base of a cliff. As the investigation unfolds, Lily’s connection to the victim and the secrets she’s buried start to come dangerously close to the surface.
It’s a well-written slow burn, but I didn’t enjoy this one as much as some of the author’s other titles. The pacing felt a bit off at times, and while the twists were there, they didn’t quite land with the same impact.
Still, if you like psychological suspense with a few red herrings and a moody atmosphere, it’s worth a listen.
