Description

'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

Like every good romance, this story ends with a wedding. And like every good mystery, it begins with a murder...

When Alexandra's fiance runs off with her so-called best friend, her life veers sharply away from the romance films she's obsessed with. She's worked so hard to get her fairytale ending after the horrors of her past, and despite this setback, she's determined she'll still find her happy ever after.

To distract herself, Alexandra tries to focus on her job where she has a secret specialty: matchmaking psychopaths. But in losing the two people closest to her, she's unignorably lonely. So when a hot, overprotective new client wants to date her, and another gorgeous new client wants to become her best friend, she can't help but find the attention a little comforting.

Things take a turn the day the human heart is left on Alexandra's doorstep. But is the culprit one of her new admirers, or has a monster from her past returned to destroy her happy ending forever?

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

Critic Reviews

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
