Brenda's Reviews > Watching You

My Goodreads friend, David, read and reviewed this book, which was his first Michael Robotham, and that review was the impetus that made me start the series. Thank you, David!

This book continues the excellence I've seen in the previous books in the series. Robotham introduces a new character, Marnie Logan, and she becomes the main character. Much of the book is about letting the reader come to know her, her family, her thoughts, and her history. She is a patient of psychologist Joe O'Loughlin. When things go sideways, DI Gennia shows up to investigate. Joe and Vincent Ruiz try to help Marnie. I loved the first meeting between Ruiz and Gennia.

There are italicized chapters from an unknown character's point of view, and these give a lot of insight as the book progresses. This character is pretty creepy. Pacing and tension amp up as things are revealed. I kept looking at how many remaining pages were left and thinking what more could possibly happen! I like how Robotham doesn't overtly tell certain things, but gives enough information that allows the reader to realize what's what.

Joe O'Loughlin and Vincent Ruiz are great characters and I love them. I'm a bit sad that there's currently only one more book to go in the series.
