The thrilling third novel starring London psychotherapist-
turned-detective Frieda Klein—from internationally
bestselling author Nicci French
Nicci French’s Blue Monday and Tuesday’s Gone introduced the
brilliant yet reclusive psychotherapist Frieda Klein to
widespread critical acclaim, but Waiting for Wednesday
promises to be her most haunting case yet.
Ruth Lennox, housewife and mother of three, is found dead in
a pool of her own blood. Detective Chief Inspector Karlsson
can’t piece together a motive and calls in Frieda, hoping
her talents will offer a new angle on the case.
When it emerges that the mother was hiding a scandalous
secret, her family closes ranks. Frieda herself is
distracted, still reeling from an attempt on her life, and
struggling with her own rare feelings of vulnerability. Then
a patient’s chance remark sends Frieda down a dangerous path
that seems to lead to a serial killer who’s long escaped
detection. Is Frieda getting closer to unraveling either
case? Or is she just the victim of her own paranoid, 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 . . .
