I'm
Watching You
Chicago
Series #3
By
Karen Rose
"
I'm Watching You" by Karen Rose has tastefully straddled
the fence between a gripping -hang onto your seats- thriller and
a romance of the caliber of Danielle Steel. Rose has spun threads
of both genres into a marvelous book that you will not want to put
down.
Kristen Mayhew, an Assistant
State Attorney, has one of the best win records and a painful past
that she prefers remains private. Like all prosecutors, there are
some cases that Kristen loses either due to witness fear of further
involvement, legal technicalities, or defense attorney craftiness.
A serial killer's murder rampage is targeted at those who have been
involved in the trials that Kristen has lost. The killer is enacting
final justice in cases where the formal legal system has failed,
and in many ways, the killer is perceived to be doing good by ridding
the city of the "scum of the earth." Abe Reagan and Mia
Mitchell are the homicide detectives assigned to the case. Abe,
like Kristen, has a painful past, but this case fuels a romance
between them that transcends the pain.
In this novel,
Karen Rose makes good use of a timeline approach rather than chapters
to keep the pace and the suspense in the book at an addictively
high level. This approach also helps the reader move seamlessly
between the many different perspectives in the book. The reader
"sees" the case unfolding from the perspective of Kristen,
the serial killer, the police, the victims of the crimes, and the
press.
"I'm Watching You" is the third
novel written by this author. Her other books are titled, "Don't
Tell Me" and "Have You Seen Her?" "I'm
Watching You" is a excellent read that I most highly recommend.
