The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden (Paperback)

Sydney Shaw has had enough of bad dates, one broken promise after another. In New York’s chaotic dating scene, she has learned to guard her heart closely. When she meets Tom, a charming doctor with a warm smile and steady presence, she begins to believe she might have found something real.

Just as Sydney allows herself to hope, the brutal murder of a young woman shakes her world. The police suspect a mystery man who dates his victims before striking. Suddenly, Tom’s kindness and attentiveness begin to feel unsettling. His timing, his interests — nothing feels accidental anymore.

As Sydney digs into the string of deaths, she realises someone is watching her. Every message, every meeting, could be part of a twisted game. She must decide if her trust in Tom is blind faith — or a deadly mistake.

In this psychological thriller, Freida McFadden explores tense dating, obsession, and the ways people hide behind perfect façades. Sydney’s journey becomes a fight for the truth — and for her life.
