REVIEW for They're Watching
















A big, big thank you goes out to Sallie at St-Martin's for sending me a copy of this book!!!

TITLE:           They're Watching

AUTHOR:       Gregg Hurwitz


GENRE:          Thriller

RATING:        5 Stars


I have stopped reading thrillers, with a few exceptions and author Gregg Hurwitz falls squarely in those "exceptions".

It seems as though each and every novel he has ever written has been not only suspensful, but so engaging that I could never figure out the "ending" before he chose to tell it to me.

In They're Watching, we, once again, find Hurtwitz is supreme shape - although I have to admit that I had my doubts in the very first chapters as I thought they were, to be honest, boring and drawn out.

However, having said that, I am incredibly happy that I persisted because the rest of the book is an absolute powerhouse of twists and turns that had me baffled and more than a little curious. 

Patrick Davis, the main character is actually an interesting "main" because he is not all that likeable, which is also something that I like about Hurwitz - he is not afraid to write characters with flaws.  When we first meet Davis, it is obvious that he quite miserable and that his marriage is in deep trouble.  However, he hasn't seen nothing yet!!!


Hurwitz truly delivers in this one - like I said, everytime I turned the page, I had no idea what to expect next - and, in the end, the author somehow managed to make me say "how did he do that?" once again.

Loved, loved this book.
