I was totally gripped by this book.
It is the first book featuring DS Maddie Ives and my very first book by Charlie Gallagher.
The story is realistic and believable and the investigating duo is well built.
The story itself is fast paced, filled with action and it is really well written. It simply takes you there through the different perspectives!
A very well spent time this weekend with this book.

He Is Watching You, the first novel in a new police procedural series featuring DS Maddie Ives, is as thoroughly gripping as all of Charlie Gallagher's previous books, but what really makes them stand out is the air of authenticity which they carry owing to the authors extensive career as a Detective in the police force. If you are looking for realistic, believable and utterly compelling novels then look no further. As far as I'm concerned Mr Gallagher is at the top of the tree in terms of producing explosive storylines, and this new novel featuring a formidable and unusual male-female investigating duo far surpasses all his previous works.
Well written, fast-paced and brimming with action, and instead of the cookie cutter characters we usually experience each here has a different personality and method of working, just as is the case in the real world. Told from three different perspectives: that of the police, the victim and the killer, adds more intrigue to the whole tale. If you enjoy gritty and twisted crime novels that are reflective of the situation around the UK with regards to criminality, drugs and detectives working their socks off to solve cases then this is a worthwhile way to spend your time. I'm already looking forward to the next book and to watching the recurring characters evolve and grow. If you can put this down then you're a better (wo)man than I am! All the stars for this one! Highly recommended.
