Synopsis

Waiting For Wednesday by Nicci French is the thrilling third novel in the highly acclaimed Frieda Klein series.

Ruth Lennox, beloved mother of three, is found by her daughter in a pool of her own blood. Who would want to murder an ordinary housewife? And why?

Psychotherapist Frieda Klein finds she has an unusually personal connection with DCI Karlsson's latest case. She is no longer working with him in an official capacity, but when her niece befriends Ruth Lennox's son, Ted, she finds herself in the awkward position of confidante to both Karlsson and Ted.

When it emerges that Ruth was leading a secret life, her family closes ranks and Karlsson finds he needs Frieda's help more than ever before.

But Frieda is distracted. Having survived an attack on her life, she is struggling to stay in control and when a patient's chance remark rings an alarm bell, she finds herself chasing down a path that seems to lead to a serial killer who has long escaped detection. Or is it merely a symptom of her own increasingly fragile mind?

Because, as Frieda knows, every step closer to a killer is one more step into a darkness from which there may be no return . . .

From the Back Cover:

'On top form. Brilliantly crafted' Bella

'I had power over him, and that made me feel strong and tender at the same time'

Just a chance remark made by a potential client, but to psychotherapist Frieda Klein it sets off alarm bells. Haunted by their significance, she is driven to find out more and her search draws her into a dark world of missing young women inhabited by a serial killer so cunning, so subtle that the police aren't yet aware of his crimes. With each step Frieda gets closer to a silent killer whose determination to stay hidden is matched only by her desperate need to find him. And stay alive . . .
