DESCRIPTION:
Cat is young, and pretty, and shy. At work, she blushes almost every time I talk to her. She reminds me sometimes of how I used to be – before marriage, before children. Before I was afraid.
So when she tells me, nervously, that she’s considering dating again, and asks if I have any friends who might suit her… I know exactly what I’m going to do.
I’m going to set her up with my husband.
I think I’m being so clever. No one would do what I’m doing, so neither of them will suspect a thing. Least of all him.
But I don’t know Cat as well as I think I do. She took this job with me for a reason.
I have no idea what she’s really looking for.
Because it isn’t love…
A completely gripping psychological thriller about love, marriage, secrets and revenge that will leave you gasping at the twists. Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Gillian Flynn and Claire Douglas.

Really, how desperate does a wife have to be to work feverishly to find a new wife for her husband? As several important issues surface while reading this book, that question keeps popping up again and again. Because this is a dual-timeline story, the picture slowly begins to take shape, revealing the motivations and circumstances that lead to such an unsettling situation.
I was riveted while reading this book because I couldn’t wait to see how the story would unfold. S. E. Lynes keeps the narrative compelling from beginning to end, delivering twists that kept me fully engaged. I did have some issues with timing while reading through it, but this is the kind of book that truly demands your attention. I also appreciated the way the story was structured; the shifting timelines added depth and gradually revealed the truth in a very effective way.
Several moments in the narration clearly illustrate that one of the principal protagonists is deeply disturbed. Most certainly homicidal. This creates a stark contrast with the other characters in the story and adds an unsettling layer of tension that runs throughout the book.
Matchmaker, a tense and intriguing psychological story, keeps you questioning motives and second-guessing your assumptions. S. E. Lynes skillfully builds suspense while gradually unveiling the darker aspects beneath the surface. By the story’s conclusion, it leaves a lasting impression, one that will undoubtedly linger in my mind for a long time.
Formerly a BBC producer, S.E. Lynes turned to writing following the birth of her third child. After completing an MA in Creative Writing, she became a tutor at Richmond Adult Community College, where she taught creative writing for over ten years. She now combines writing, mentoring and lecturing. Her debut, Valentina, was published by Blackbird Digital Books in 2016. Her follow up, the dark and twisting bestseller Mother, was published by Bookouture in November 2017 and Susie has gone on to publish gripping psychological thrillers with them ever since.
