Blurb
Tom Harper, a Vancouver
Island realtor, has the client from hell, Ali Page, a beautiful and
intelligent young lawyer returning from the mainland to take up a job
with an island law firm. Trouble is there’s always something wrong with
the properties Tom shows her, always a reason not to commit. Finally,
after they find a condo she likes, he receives a text thanking him for
his help. Ali signs off: I’m sad we won’t get to spend more time
together. Often cold and withdrawn throughout their weeks of searching,
Ali’s words seem strangely out of character.
The texts keep
coming, increasingly incoherent and disturbing. What does Ali mean by:
we have a special connection, and why on earth would she say: I’ll be
here for you when you leave your wife? Happily married, Tom cannot
understand why a woman not much older than his teenage daughter is
suddenly obsessed with him. When he rejects Ali’s unsolicited advances,
Tom soon discovers the sinister depths to which a delusional mind will
sink to obtain what it wants. Isolated and seemingly abandoned by the
police and legal system, this is the story of one man’s struggle to
rescue his marriage, his family, and his sanity in the face of
overwhelming psychological and physical torment.
My Opinion
This is my first approach with the author and let me tell you that I really want to read his other books now.
Watch for me is a dark psychological thriller so good that you wouldn't want to let it go even when you finish it.
Tom is a realtor on Vancouver Island, and has the task of finding the ideal property for up and coming lawyer, Ali.
Ali is the daughter of a couple of friends, so Tom feels he owes it to them to help her out, even when the property she is looking for is not even in the area of his expertise.
I caved and agreed to act as Ali’s buying agent. One small favor that would change our lives forever.
This is a very particular story because often stalkers are male and not much books talk about female stalkers, this is a good twist that the author present with a good background to catch the readers helping us to see the injustice for males when they are the victims.
Easy to read as is not long, with a good story that it was build since page one.
There was no word to describe the kind of malevolent mind that could think to go through a person’s garbage to fabricate evidence.
