Synopsis
A lonely widow is romanced by a &“brilliantly portrayed&” pathological killer in this novel by the National Book Award–winning author of them (The New York Times). Dorothea Deverell is a New England art historian working for a Boston museum, resigned to entering middle age alone—until she&’s swept off her feet by the flattery of a charming younger man who calls her his soul mate. Colin Asch is swept away too. He admires Dorothea&’s gentle nature, innate goodness, decency, and acceptance of others without judgment. She&’s nothing at all like the people Colin has met before—and murdered. A self-appointed &“Angel of Death,&” Colin is determined to keep Dorothea happy—by eliminating anyone who gets in the way of his plan. They&’ll be clever kills, untraceable and fast as a knife-slash to the throat. Each one will bring him closer to the woman he loves. And by the time Dorothea discovers what horrors passion has wrought, she&’ll be in so deep, so dark, that giving in might be her only chance of survival. This novel, called &“a hair-raiser&” by Elmore Leonard, comes from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of We Were the Mulvaneys, a four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and recipient of the O. Henry Award, the National Book Award, and the Bram Stoker Award. In Soul/Mate, &“it is clear from the start that we are in Joyce Carol Oates territory, for the book is stamped with her hallmarks—her complex, detailed prose; her fascination with violence; her obsessive concern with rendering not so much action as the way action haunts the hidden consciousness of her characters&” (The New York Times).
