Book Review: The Boyfriend by Freida Mc Fadden

 

About

She's looking for the perfect man. He's looking for the perfect victim.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it 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...

A dark story about obsession and the things we’ll do for love, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden proves that crimes of passion are often the bloodiest…

My Thoughts 

Another mind-blowing novel from Freida again she did not disappoint with the twists at the end. Somehow in these books I could never figure out who did it.

In The Boyfriend we meet thirty something year old Sydney who is longing to get in a meaningful relationship. The dating app Cynch seems to be the number one app for singles in New York City and a go to for Sydney to find love. Well Sydney has no such luck. After a very bad date with creepy Kevin she happened to stumble upon Tom.

Meanwhile Sydney's best friend Bonnie is murdered....Is she next?? And what does Tom have to do with all this??

This book kept me up at night. Another excellent story by my now favorite author.
