“Gorgeously disturbing and endlessly surprising–an intense, thought-provoking, and riveting psychological puzzle of mind games.
THE PATIENT proves Steena Holmes’ infinite ability to create a taut, smart, and darkly captivating story. A psychiatrist with a serial-killer as a patient–but which one? Terrific–and irresistible.”

What People Are Saying
As John Ruskin said:
“All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time.”
“[The Word Game] is extremely well written…Don’t be surprised if you can’t put this one down!”
“In The Memory Child, Steena Holmes explores motherhood, love, and the notion of who we really are, all of which adds up to a complex, character-driven story that packs a great punch.”
“Reminiscent of The Twilight Zone, this novel has a feeling that will unsettle readers from the first page.”
