Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER comes a riveting new thriller about a writer desperate to make a comeback who realizes that success may cost more than he can afford to pay when a stranger arrives at his door.

George is bitter. As he should be. Once a household name, George is dying to make a comeback, and death may be the only option left to get the public's attention. Ask anyone, his life is unraveling at the seams. Meanwhile, his new apprentice is everything he is not.

The enigmatic man his publisher sends to help is young and ambitious, with looks that could kill, and possibly do.

When George discovers that his apprentice's talent extends beyond fixing broken plots, that his winning formula may, in fact, be a result of making the crimes in his novels come to life, George has to ask himself how much he is willing to overlook to achieve mainstream success.

Perfectly paced, The Book Doctor is an electrifying psychological thriller about a life's work, obsession, and the dangerous places ambition can take you. Full of enough tension and twists to make even the most seasoned suspense reader break out in a cold sweat, it keeps you guessing until the very end.

About Britney King

Britney King writes psychological, domestic, and romantic thrillers set in suburbia. She is currently writing three series and several stand-alone novels.

The Bedrock series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn't. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.

The Water series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple-he's an assassin-she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.

Around the Bend is a heart-pounding stand-alone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn't have turned out so bad. But she wasn't.

The With You series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.

The Social Affair is an intense stand-alone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn't bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me. Classics.

Britney lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.

3.75 Stas Everything has its rhythm. Everything has a story to tell. And everything eventually finds its way back around. The Book Doctor is a creepy read about a writer who whatever he writes, comes true. Despite guessing the plot early on, still, it was a page-turner and an enjoyable one. It’s fast-......more

I am always impressed at how Britney King can churn out so many thrillers and have them be these well-thought-out works of art, and I felt the same way about The Book Doctor: A Psychological Thriller!

Goodreads review by Mandy on June 13, 2020

If you have read a Britney King book before then you know that you are in for a twisty and dark ride. The Book Doctor was absolutely no different. I read this book in one, page turning sitting. It was disturbingly addictive and definitely not for the faint hearted reader. The main 2 characters were......more
