WILL HE HELP HER? OR HURT HER?
When therapist Aaron Pereira arrives on the Isle of Wight seeking a fresh start, the last thing he expects is to find himself caught in a tragedy. The police suspect that his predecessor, Dr Geoffrey Miller, is guilty of murdering a former patient. The problem? He's nowhere to be found.
As long-buried secrets come to light, Aaron finds himself questioning everything the authorities claim and is drawn to investigate. After all, what would drive a respected and kindly therapist to harm a patient they're sworn to protect? And even worse - if a therapist like him could be a killer, what might Aaron himself be capable of?©2027 Kingsley Pearson (P)2027 Orion Publishing Group Limited
Critic Reviews
I was completely drawn into the world of The Therapist's Secret. Twisty, crackling with tension and emotionally taut - this is a fantastic second outing for Kingsley Pearson. (Hannah Brennan, author of NO SAFE PLACE)
A new twist on the psychological thriller straight from the psychologist's chair. Strongly drawn characters (loved Alba!) and a great plot deftly bound together by a string of dark secrets. A new voice in the psychological thriller canon. Unmissable! (Imran Mahmood, author of YOU DON'T KNOW ME)
A bold and thrilling suspense story with an original setting. Pearson's narrative shines a light on the struggles of a flailing NHS service and the divisions and prejudices in contemporary society. I tore through this with a delicious sense of unease (Chris Bridges, author of SICK TO DEATH)
A claustrophobic, quintessentially English island hosts a contemporary thriller, with its hairpin turns, sharp psychological insights and unflinching study of repression and prejudice. THE THERAPIST'S SECRET asks who you can trust with your deepest, darkest secrets, and offers uneasy answers (Erin Kelly, author of HE SAID SHE SAID)
An island, a therapist, a tragedy and some long-held secrets; this novel has a unique premise and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A gripping and unsettling game of psychological cat and mouse (Jackie Kabler, author of RUN FOR YOUR LIFE)
I absolutely loved The Therapist's Secret. Suspenseful, pacy and character-driven, this is a thriller with so much to say. Pearson's characters are beautifully flawed, authentic and completely believable. The Therapist's Secret kept me turning the pages because I needed to know what happened next, but also because I cared so much about the people at the centre of it. Smart, gripping and full of heart. (Nikki Allen, author of THE HIDEAWAY)
The Therapist's Secret is a taut psychological thriller that hums with a sense of menace. Dark, twisty and beautifully atmospheric, it explores the fragile boundaries between care and control, and asks what happens when those entrusted to help us have secrets of their own. (Kia Abdullah, author of THOSE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR)
Kingsley Pearson, crime writer and clinical psychologist, has decided to mess with his readers' minds and, unsurprisingly, it's brilliant fun. A tense, twisty and deftly plotted thriller that also shines a light on an NHS system in crisis. Excellent (Anna Sharpe, author of NOTES ON A DROWNING)
A twisty, tender psychological thriller, more soulful and searching than most, that blends Gothic suspense with deeper, intriguing questions about morality. Soft mints, a runaway circus horse, and a missing psychologist: Kingsley Pearson's Isle of Wight is the best place to unnerve yourself this year (A.J. Finn, author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW)
