About this ebook

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

A Divorced Woman. A Dangerous Man. A Devastating Affair.

‘You’re right. It is totally extraordinary. My life is like a film; you couldn’t make it up ... But there’s something I have to tell you,’ he confided, as he leaned across the table towards me. ‘I’m not normal.’

Carolyn Woods was living happily in a quiet Cotswolds village when an attractive stranger abruptly arrived in her life.

Introducing himself as Mark Conway, he exuded confidence and to her surprise Carolyn quickly became captivated by this mysterious man. A rich Swiss banker (who later confessed to being a spy), he offered Carolyn companionship and introduced her to an exciting, glamorous world.

In fact, some things were so astonishing she began to question her new lover. Was all as it seemed?

The truth was even harder to believe. For a start, his real name was Mark Acklom, he was wanted by Interpol, and he was rich but for one reason only...

A true-crime story that reads like a thriller, Sleeping with a Psychopath is a blow-by-blow account of the power of manipulation and a testament to the human will to survive.

I'm just blown away that this Woman takes absolutely no blame for what happened to her!!!! I get Mark was a conman but seriously some of the stories he told her should have set off HUGE alarm bells to her. I can't believe how naive and gullible people can be. She portrays herself throughout as a poor innocent victim. While blaming Mark, and the police and anyone else she can think of. I think she's at least 80% to blame !!!!! Poor me poor me poor me... Give me a break!!!! Hard time reading the last several chapters as the whining and poor poor me, I'm a victim was unbearable!!

Everybody should be aware of a conman called Mark Acklom, a psychopath, deceiver and thief who steals thousands and millions of pounds from the people he enchants with his charisma. He has gone by various different names and aliases previously and has already spent several years in prison, but is due out again not long from now. Beware! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...do not trust nobody without confirming their identity first and do not trust nobody with your money. Rather than 320 long pages, this book could have said it all in only 250 pages. There is too much repetition of facts and feelings and this lessens the impact and interest of the book.
