This box set was something else. Being a huge fan of Frieda McFadden and reading other authors work is challenging but this author delivered on my expectations.
All four book in this box set had me glued to my kindle. Some cons I have were it gets a little repetitive in certain parts of each book for example in book 1 he was constantly repeated that Damon didn’t like George over and over but you tune the repetition out cause the plot gets good.

So over all I’d say read this set and you won’t regret it!!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

Theo Baxter’s Psychological Thriller Box Set is a masterclass in suspense and psychological intrigue. This collection, comprising four gripping novels, is a must-read for fans of the genre. Each book is a standalone story, yet they all share Baxter’s signature style: intricate plots, unexpected twists, and deeply flawed characters that keep you guessing (and reading)..

Book 1: The Stepfather
The opening novel sets a high bar with its chilling narrative. A Stepfather is hiding secrets (and a criminal past) from his new family as his intuitive stepdaughter and her clever Father work to expose his secrets. They also work to break the daughter's Mom's unwavering faith and trust in a man who is utterly undeserving. The pacing is relentless, and the twists are relentless, culminating in a finale that will leave readers breathless.

Book 2: It's your turn Now - a clever spin on Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is clever and engaging, and full of Baxter's clever twists.

Book 3: The Scorned Wife - a woman who's husband betrays her in the worst way imaginable with a family member. The now ex-wife stumbles in the perfect plan to settle old scores, but of course the author doesn't leave things there, as sometimes revenge can be a knife that cuts the person wielding it at least as deeply as it cuts the intended victim...


Book 4: - The Widow's Secret - An unsuspecting sweetheart of a kind and trusting wife has her world upended by betrayal and secrets. Each story in this collection is stellar - in this one the wife ends up jailed, luckily a few people (including a charming detective) believe in her innocence.

Theo Baxter’s Psychological Thriller Box Set is a testament to his prowess as a storyteller. Each novel is meticulously crafted, with complex characters and plots that keep you on the edge of your seat. Baxter’s ability to create an atmosphere of suspense and unease is unparalleled, making this box set a must-have for any fan of psychological thrillers.

Every story in this collection is a stellar addition, the collection as a whole is a crowning achievement for the author.

Whether you’re a long-time fan of the genre or new to Baxter’s work, this collection is sure to captivate and thrill. Highly recommended for those who enjoy well-crafted plots, unexpected twists, and engaging characters.

I have read many books by Theo Baxter. What can I say about this 3 set book set? First, all 3 I didn't full enjoy. However, it's just because some things were easily predictable. The writing? The stories? The characters? I absolutely did like alot. I would recommend them. I would also say The scorned wife is one of my favorites by him.

T. Baxter is the author of psychological thrillers with a twist. This box set, published by Incubator Books contains 4 of the best and heartpounding novels.
The Stepfather: After a divorce, Madelyne finds love with George, a successful restaurant owner. Their marriage seems perfect except for one thing: her daughter Connie has taken a dislike to her new husband.
Connie knows something is wrong with her stepfather. His behaviour towards her mother is manipulative and she suspects there's more. The only person she can turn to is her real father, Damon.
Damon is ex-military and deals with some issues of his own, and he has every reason to dislike his ex-wife, but he still wants to help.
But then Connie stumbles on a truth that's a thousand times more horrifying than anything she could have imagined. They're in danger and Damon is the only one who can save them.

It's Your Turn Now : Daisy Costigan is desperate to leave her husband, Bruce. But she knows he’ll never let her go. And if she tries to escape, he’s promised he’ll do whatever it takes to track her down. One day Daisy meets a charming man in a bookstore. His name is Marco and he overhears Daisy’s phone conversation with Bruce.
Marco makes Daisy an offer. He’ll take care of Bruce if she’ll help him with a little problem - his wife.

The Scorned Wife: Amelia was deeply in love with her husband, Sam. Until she discovered he was having an affair with her younger sister, Cara.
Ever since, Amelia has had to sit by at family events while her sister and ex-husband flaunt their passionate relationship.
Tired of being seen as a loser, Amelia hires stunningly handsome actor, Damon Chase, to stand in as her boyfriend. A plan that works better than she ever hoped as competitive Cara throws herself at Damon, causing an acrimonious breakup with Sam.

The Widow's Secret: Married couple Leona and Wayne Woodrow are celebrating their anniversary with a hike on the Appalachian Trail when Wayne slips and falls off a cliff. A search party turns up his bloodied clothing, but not his body.
An inheritance and a huge payout from a life insurance policy do little to ease Leona’s grief. Adding to her stress is Wayne’s brother, Michael, who makes it clear he suspects Leona is somehow responsible for Wayne’s death.

When Michael is found dead and his wife Chelsea vanishes, Leona finds herself the prime suspect in a twisted plot of secrets, betrayal, and murder.
Heartpounding, raw and gripping, twisty with unexpected turns that have the reader guessing till the very last page - this four book box set has everything I love in a great read.
