The New Boyfriend: An Addictive and Totally Unputdownable Psychological Thriller
Perfect man. Perfect liar. Perfect killer?
I didn’t think I’d get a second chance at love. But then I meet handsome, charming Scott in my local bookshop and he makes me forget the mistakes of my past. I feel safe with him. As we talk about our future over a candle-lit dinner, I think he could be the one…
Everything is perfect until my ex-husband Jonathan hammers on my door late one night. My stomach drops when he yells, ‘Scott is a killer.’
At first, I don’t believe it. Surely my ex is just stirring up trouble?
Except when I question what Scott has told me about himself, I wonder if I know him as well as I think I do. Is my new boyfriend really who he says he is?
Then someone I know is found dead only a street away from where I live. And I start to receive threatening messages…
I don’t know who to trust. Someone is lying. Someone is a killer. But is it my ex-husband or my new boyfriend?
This pulse-pounding psychological thriller from bestselling author Mikayla Davids is a gripping, addictive page-turner that will make you question those closest to you – and have you glued to the pages! Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Claire Douglas, Lucy Foley and John Marrs.
