Es una mujer fuerte, una profesional incorruptible, famosa por su tenacidad y dedicación.Pero ahora acaba de descubrir que tiene un peligroso admirador secreto que lleva tiempo observándola y que conoce todos sus movimientos. Le envía cartas y ha empezado a asesinar, en su nombre, a los delincuentes y criminales que ella no logró meter entre rejas. Con la ayuda de Abe, un detective del departamento de homicidios, Kristen intenta resolver un caso que cada vez va sumando nuevas víctimas y que la ha colocado en el punto de mira de otro asesino. Para Abe, en quien la joven ha despertado unos sentimientos que creía olvidados, resulta cada vez más difícil protegerla… I'm Watching You 4 Stars Synopsis ASA Kristen Mayhew has a dangerous secret admirer. He writes her letters and leaves her gifts - the bodies of men who have escaped punishment for their crimes. Now, Kristen together with Detective Abe Reagan must follow the clues and stop the killer before his thirst for vengeance makes her a target for murder. Review Captivating characters and a gripping plot that makes a serious indictment against the justice system. The story provides compelling insight into the mind of a man driven to kill out of a need for justice - even though he is a killer, it is difficult not to understand and perhaps even root for his actions. The questions of good and evil, right and wrong are put to the test in this book. Even though it is easy to guess the identity of the culprit, the investigation is interesting and their are enough clues and red-herrings to keep you turning the pages. The romance is engaging although there are one or two themes that don't appeal to me - the hero is a widower and is still hung up on his dead wife to a certain extent, and the heroine is a rape survivor. Nevertheless, they have a sizzling chemistry and their scenes together are intense and emotional. Overall, an engrossing read and Karen Rose is becoming a go to author for me. State Attorney, Kristen Mayhew has a reputation of a tiger in the courtroom and an ice queen everywhere else. Holding the highest conviction rate of any other state's attorney in her Chicago office, a vigilante is out there trying, convicting, and executing the "ones that got away" whether on technicalities or what he believes were tainted verdicts. Author Karen Rose does an incredible job of using suspense and tension to move the story along. She also manages to get the reader to sympathize with the vigilante. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
