Produktbeschreibung
Tess is used to untangling messy lives--her own included. A therapist in Toronto caught in the grip of a midlife slump, she's no stranger to emotional fallout. But when a deeply troubled patient named Hal crosses the line, Tess retreats to her idyllic hometown in cottage country, hoping to find peace among familiar faces and quiet lakes. Instead, she finds ghosts. Haunted by memories of her first love and the unresolved grief of her mother's tragic death, Tess's return is anything but restful. And when Hal shows up uninvited, her safe haven turns sinister. Soon after, two people are dead--and Tess is at the center of a media firestorm. Branded a villain and watching her career unravel, Tess must confront buried secrets and painful truths that refuse to stay hidden. As suspicion and betrayal close in, she's forced to choose: protect the people she loves or save herself. To reclaim her future, Tess will have to face the one person she's never truly understood--herself. But the cost of redemption may be higher than she ever imagined. In Bad Advice, a gripping psychological thriller, trust is a risk, and the wrong choice can be fatal.
