About The Soulmate

Sharon’s found a new friend. And she’s not sharing her with anyone. Sharon Meyer is terribly lonely. She spends her days walking by the sea, watching afternoon television and reading. She hates how small her life has become. Then, a chance meeting with the cool and sophisticated Pippa, and Sharon knows she will be alone no more. Because she feels it in her bones – she and Pippa are destined to be best friends. Maybe even soulmates. And it seems she’s right. Soon she and Pippa are having coffee, meeting for lunch in town, and there is even talk of weekends away and holidays. It’s wonderful. But there is a problem. Pippa is married to Peter and they have a son, Dominic. Which means Sharon can only see Pippa when she has time off from her busy family life. Sharon isn’t big on sharing. And she starts to think that maybe there’s a way she can have Pippa all to herself… How far is Sharon willing to go to get what she wants? And will Pippa discover the horrifying truth about her new friend before it’s too late? The Soulmate – the stunning psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, and Kiersten Modglin. What readers are saying about The Soulmate: “My favourite book so far this year. Kept me on the edge of my seat and I finished it in a few hours. Highly recommend this book and I have added all of Iain’s other books to my reading list. 5☆” -Netgalley Reviewer "One of the best dark-thriller-with-a-dash-of-comedy books I have read for a long time. I could not move away from this book and devoured it in a couple of sittings. Brilliant storyline and fabulous characters." Netgalley Reviewer “…the first novel I’ve read by this author and I immediately added others to my list upon finishing this. The author certainly excels at writing characters you hope get what is coming to them!” Netgalley Reviewer “…a phenomenal first introduction to [Iain Maitland’s] work… I loved this book… and was completely invested… I could not wait to turn each page…” Netgalley Reviewer “The author has created an appallingly real character here and being inside her head makes for a chilling experience as a reader. The story is fast paced and gripping.” Netgalley Reviewer
