Waterstones Says

Bristling with sinister intent, Briscoe’s pitch-perfect psychological thriller is a compelling study of obsession and paranoia. Centred on the increasingly damaging relationship between an anxious mother and her insidious therapist, The Seduction is a coolly crafted work that is impossible to get out of your head. 

An addictive new story of desire and obsession from the bestselling author of Sleep With Me 'A sizzling new thriller' New York Times Book Review 'Elegant. Gripping. Seductive. A pitch-perfect thriller about obsession and paranoia' David Nicholls 'An addictive, macabre fairground ride of a novel' Guardian 'A febrile, urgent tale' Sunday Times 'A gripping thriller' independent.co.uk 'A page-turning psycho sexual romp ... Enjoy the helter-skelter ride' Daily Mail 'This is seduction of the most insidious kind' Spectator 'A classy, compulsive tale of desire and obsession, it glitters with menace' Mail on Sunday 'Beautifully written and completely heart-in-mouth gripping' Barbara Trapido Beth lives by Camden Lock with her partner Sol and their daughter Fern. Life is peaceful, but Beth is troubled by increasing unease. It could be to do with her mother's disappearance years ago. It could be her sense that Fern is keeping secrets from her. So she goes to therapy. Dr Tamara Bywater is there to help her patients, and soon their sessions become the highlight of Beth's week. But Beth is in over her head before she realises that Tamara might not be all she seems... What if the person you trust the most turns out to be the greatest danger of all?
