"When Detective Superintendent William Lorimer's wife, Maggie, publishes her first book, he is thrilled for her. But joy soon turns to fear when a mysterious stranger starts following Maggie on her publicity tour.

General Opinion:

I borrowed this book from my best friend and I had a wonderful time reading it! At first, I thought they had made a movie out of it (As there are so many of them about stalking I kinda lose track haha!) But the further along I read, the more I realized that I had never heard of that story. I liked the way the author wrote the book, it is easy to read and I have learned some little Scottish words, which made it more entertaining.

I feel that this book had a pretty good intrigue, and the storyline was interesting. However, I would have loved to see more 'details' of the stalker, how he became a stalker (we did have an insight, but I would have loved a small part on him.) In itself, the suspense was really good and until the end, I was really wondering if the stalker was going to get caught. And then suddenly, Maggie gets snatched, and I got scared. Like No Maggie, no!

Now, let's get on with the positive and negative points.

Positive Points:

• The story is authentic, compelling, and suspenseful.

• I really like the principal character, Margaret Lorimer, and her husband.

• The Scottish landscape seems absolutely gorgeous. (I plan on traveling there!)

• The story is easy to read and it is not too long.

• I enjoy how you see the thoughts of Margaret and her husband.

• I also like how we instantly get in the head of the stalker.

Negative Points:

• I wish there were more 'action' or a little bit more insight into the stalker.

• The stalker is a bit sloppy as he gets caught quite quickly!

Do I Recommend it?

Yes definitely! The book is very good, and I have enjoyed the storyline! If you typically enjoy a story about stalking and/or a bit of suspense, I enthusiastically recommend it! It was entertaining and interesting!

Thank you Alex Gray for such a good read!
