Description

“An unnerving, elegant page-turner” (Vanity Fair) of psychological suspense about a woman in an intense sexual relationship with a man who turns out to be a predator—by celebrated writers Amy Hempel and Jill Ciment writing as A.J. Rich.Morgan, thirty, is completing her thesis on victim psychology and newly engaged to Bennett, a man more possessive than those she has dated in the past, but also more chivalrous—and the sex is hot. She returns from class one day to find Bennett brutally mauled to death, and her beloved dogs covered in blood. When Morgan tries to locate Bennett’s parents to tell them about their son’s hideous death, she discovers that everything he has told her—where he was born, where he lives in Montreal, where he works—was a lie. He is not the man he said he was, and he had several fiancées, all believing the same promises he gave Morgan. And then, one by one, these other women are murdered. Morgan’s research into Bennett has taken on new urgency: in order to stay alive, she must find out how an intelligent woman like herself, who studies predators, becomes a victim. For readers of Girl on a Train and Luckiest Girl Alive, this “twisty, unsettling thriller” (The New York Times) is an “irresistible” (Vogue) collaboration between two outstanding writers. “The Hand That Feeds You goes from zero to terrifying in about five pages…Once this thriller gets its teeth into you, it doesn’t let go” (The Tampa Bay Times).

Morgan Prager is a forensic psychology student at John Jay College in New York City. She has studied both psychopaths and sociopaths. Now she hopes to identify the specific behaviors of victims that make them vulnerable to these predators.. Her research is moving forward, her love life not so much. Once her fiance Bennett seemed like the perfectly partner, in synch with her every need. Now she is considering their future while continuing her research by making anonymous connections with men and women--potential victims all-- trolling for relationships on websites that are nothing like "Match.com".And then one day Morgan returns home from classes to discover Bennett dead, the apparent victim of an attack by her three dogs: a snow white Great Pyrenees named Cloud and two rescued Pit Bull Terriers. Reluctantly she hands over the dogs to animal control, even if their behavior seems completely out of character and not at all predatory.In the days that follow Morgan not only mourns the death of her fiance but also the likely euthanasia of her dogs.To quell her grief she decides to track down Bennett's family only to discover they don't exist. What does is another woman who believes she is Bennett's beloved. Pretty soon Morgan has uncovered more than one woman who believes herself to be Bennett's future wife, albeit with different names. She is aided in her search by her brother, a civil rights lawyer, his friend, who specializes in rescuing dogs from certain death, and Billie, a volunteer at the shelter where Cloud has been replaced.Pretty soon Morgan realizes something is not right. Is it her? Her brother? Billie? Dead human bodies begin to show up, and the only link seems to be that each victim once loved Bennett. At the same time Morgan is racing against the clock, determined to spare Cloud from certain execution.I am not a dog owner, although I love my friends' and family's dogs, all of whom are rescue dogs; and four of whom are full or part Pit Bull Terriers. I know from their expertise that Pit Bulls are among the most misunderstood dogs in the world. So this book provided me with information beyond what my relatives could provide about the true nature of Pit Bulls.Although I realized by the middle of the book who the true predator had to be I continued reading. My only disappointment was that the author(s) seemed to tire of tying up loose ends once the guilty party was identified. I wish they had done as much justice to the last 20 pages as they/she did to the first.
