How to Spot a Psychopath

MQ Webb – April 2020


Mia is missing, Jessica won’t talk, Oscar is seeking redemption.


When four-year-old Mia Edwards goes missing on a play date, everyone suspects that Jessica Green knows what happened to her, especially Mia’s mother, Holly, but Jessica isn’t talking, and time is running out to find Mia alive.

Forensic Psychiatrist Dr. Oscar de la Nuit knows he can help Jessica, but first he must face his tragic past and confront his own demons to uncover a truth no one expected.


Psychological Thriller – Highly recommended for fans of The Silent Patient, Hannibal, Big Little Lies, Before I go to Sleep.


Fans of mind-bending psychological thrillers will appreciate this tangled tale. Readers are thrust into Oscar’s anxiety-stricken world as he awaits Jessica’s arrival. Time-alternating chapters between Jessica’s then and Oscar’s build suspense and provide critical background information, while revealing character and teasing out the pleasingly layered and perplexing truth.
Great for fans of: Alex Michaelides’s The Silent Patient, Lisa Scottoline’s Every Fifteen Minutes
