* crazy and I loved it!! Literally could not put it down... such a unique masterpiece... I don't think I could have loved it more, it was perfect... Really was like nothing I've read before.' Reader Review, ?????

He was so good-looking that I felt manipulated by his face. There was a kind of pleasure in knowing that he couldn't have me. I was already reserved for someone else, even if that person had temporarily left me for my best friend.

Alexandra doesn't want to think about her fiance running off with her so-called best friend.

She doesn't want to think about the next time her self-centred mother will call her from prison.

She certainly doesn't want to think about her old identity coming back to haunt her.

Instead, she tries to use her job as a matchmaker as a distraction. At work, she gets lumbered with the clients who show signs of psychopathy on the personality tests, but she doesn't mind. She's used to spending time with psychopaths, and doesn't everyone deserve love?

But when a devastatingly handsome client walks into her life, everything changes. Because he's too interested in her. He seems to know all about the things she'd rather keep hidden. And when someone close to her drops dead, it appears that he'd kill to make her his perfect match...

Matchmaking for Psychopaths is an unbelievably twisty and gripping read about obsession, filled with Tasha Coryell's signature observational humour and satirical slant.

Reviews for Matchmaking for Psychopaths: The most compelling, hilarious, and twisty book of the summer, ‘SO MUCH FUN’ Marian Keyes

Matchmaking for Psychopaths by Tasha Coryell is SO MUCH FUN... Impressively ASTUTE on male/female dynamics. -- Marian Keyes * No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of MY FAVOURITE MISTAKE * I loved this! A brilliant blend of dark humour and gripping suspense, delivering a fresh and thrilling exploration of obsession and identity. -- Joanna Wallace * author of You’d Look Better as a Ghost * Bloody brilliant. A wildly original take on the difficulties of love and friendship in today's society. Coryell masterfully weaves a thrilling dark romance that will make you believe some psychopaths deserve a happy ending. -- Asia Mackay * author of A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage * I LOVED this book. I tore through it in a day. I think it's even better than Love Letters! Absolutely loved the clever twist on the matchmaking-romance trope. It was so up my street, it was practically parked on my drive! Gripping, tense and funny in all the right ways, I couldn't put it down. -- Katy Brent * author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It * Devious, propulsive, and oh-so-twisty, MATCHMAKING FOR PSYCHOPATHS is a romp not to be missed! -- Stephanie Wrobel There is real vulnerability and softness in this story... Supremely readable and unexpected. Tasha has a voice that is very much her own! I like how she looks at the effects of loneliness with a new lens - how do the decisions we make when we're feeling truly alone ripple out into our wider lives? I'll never think of Valentine's Day in the same way again... I don't doubt that other readers will also fall in love with the damaged but well-intentioned Lexie and hope the book does really, really well -- Silvia Saunders * winner of the Comedy Women in Print Award * A gender-flipped Dexter thrown in a blender with a Hollywood romcom, Matchmaking for Psychopaths is wild, suspenseful, and fiendishly smart. I found this poisoned love letter to romance, sex, and murder impossible to put down. Tasha Coryell has crafted a story so entertaining you might not realize just how deep it's sunk its claws into you until the last breathless page. * Andrew DeYoung * Readable and unexpected . . . I'll never think of Valentine's Day in the same way again * Silvia Suanders * Devious, propulsive, and oh-so-twisty, Matchmaking for Psychopaths is a romp not to be missed! * Stephanie Wrobel *
