Watching You
By: Michael Robotham
Location: FIC ROB
Genre: Mystery Thriller
“What if I become a lawyer?’ ‘Please don’t do that,’ says Ruiz. ‘Why not?’ ‘They’re like monkeys who get dressed up and fling poo at each other.”
Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched. Nothing she can quite put her finger on -- a whisper of breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye -- and now her life is frozen. Her husband Daniel has been missing for more than a year. Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin. Joe is concerned by Marnie's reluctance to talk about the past, but then she discovers a book packed with pictures, interviews with friends, former teachers, old flames and workmates Daniel was preparing for Marnie's birthday. It was supposed to be a celebration of her life. But it's not the story anyone was expecting ..
"Another masterful piece of storytelling by Mr Robotham!!
This author is slowly becoming a favourite of mine! You begin each of his books innocently enough,gaining access to the myriad characters,their backgrounds and secrets and before long you find yourself meandering along a path where nothing is as it seems,polluted as it is by red herrings, invariable twists and turns!!
Peppered with more than enough angst,you experience the unique tingle along your spine as you try,without much success,it must be added,to unravel the 'who,why and how' of each specific set of circumstances you are presented with!! "-Mary
