He Is Watching You by Charlie Gallagher
5.0

He is watching her. But she isn’t dead.

A young woman’s body is left in a metal container in a remote location. The killer has positioned her carefully under the watchful eye of his camera. But she isn’t dead. So he will have to go back and finish the job.

Detective Maddie Ives is new to the area and has a bad feeling about the woman’s disappearance. DI Harry Blaker is called to a hit and run of an elderly man left to die. It looks like a tragic accident, but he is not quite sure.

These two must work together to save the woman trapped in the container and they must work fast. Because he has already chosen his next victim and he is watching.

Fantastic book! Creepy and terrifying but so well written. The opening of the book is quite confusing as it tells stories from all the different perspectives and it is hard at first to work out who is who, but once you pick it up it’s brilliant. The answers seem right under Harry and Maddie’s nose, yet they are so far out of reach. The ending is action packed and terrifying. Though, I didn’t like when Maddie tells Harry that one of the other policeman will tell him what happened...because that never happens and I like to know everything! But other than that it is brilliant!!
