3⭐️ Picked this book because I enjoy Moriarty's books. Not her best one so far, kept my interest enough with her slow pace signature writing style. However, in the hypnotist's love story it builds up but then nothing. I liked the premise of the book. The story of Ellen O'Farell & her new flame. Whom she soon discover had a stalker. What I did like about that book was the exploration of both the life of the stalker and the one being stalked.
