The Therapist

Helene Flood is a psychologist who obtained her doctoral degree on violence, revictimization and trauma-related shame and guilt in 2016. She now works as a psychologist and researcher at the National Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress. She lives in Oslo with her husband and two children. The Therapist is her first adult novel; it has now been bought for film by Anonymous Content, and rights have been sold to 28 countries.

A sharply observed thriller with a plot packed full of psychological suspense. I couldn't put it down.
Tense and atmospheric, this psychological thriller gets under your skin. Helene Flood keeps presenting questions to her reader, sending us every which way, as she builds towards the stunning and satisfying conclusion.
Masterfully paced and hauntingly written, The Therapist creeps up on you and leaves you looking over your shoulder long after you've turned the last page.
Dark, absorbing and richly complex. Helene Flood is a wonderful storyteller and The Therapist kept me guessing till the final, devilish twists.
Wonderfully creepy, twisty and compelling, with a rising sense of dread that will keep readers turning the pages right through to the unexpected ending.
Creepy, compelling and very well-written. The Norwegian setting and the questions it poses about crime and punishment are particularly interesting.
Tense and atmospheric . . . Well plotted with plenty of unexpected twists and turns.
A marvellously assured debut thriller.
Flood takes her time but manipulates audience expectations with considerable aplomb.
A striking debut.
Will have you up all night with the lights on.
Don't read this one at night.
