About this listen

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 all: 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...

Editorial Review

A perfect match or a perfect trap?
In this chilling thriller, readers are thrust into a heart-pounding narrative that explores the dark side of modern dating. Sydney Shaw, like many single women, has had her share of dating nightmares. But when she meets her new boyfriend—a handsome, successful doctor—things finally seem to be falling into place. The romance feels too good to be true, and as it turns out, it just might be. The backdrop of a serial killer stalking women adds a chilling dimension to the plot. The novel excels at tapping into universal fears about dating, particularly the vulnerability that comes with opening yourself up to someone new. The slow reveal of the killer’s identity is masterfully handled, with just enough red herrings to keep readers guessing until the final, heart-stopping twist. —Dawn G., Audible Editor

Fast paced and a fun ride, but hard to believe.

The narrators' voices were easy to listen to, making it enjoyable to follow the story. The pacing of their delivery felt natural, neither rushed nor dragging. Overall, the narration greatly enhanced the listening experience.

Sydney, a self-centered and naive protagonist, lacks depth, but the fast-paced story with an unexpected twist makes it a recommended beach read.

Another amazing book

I love Freida McFadden as an author. She always keeps you hanging on till the very end. The boyfriend is no different. I couldn’t put this book down until it was finished and then I wanted more. Highly recommended.
