Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own. Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . . Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?
I liked that there were snippets from the killer throughout the story. I had my theories about who the stalker/killer was – and in the end, I did get one of them right, but it in NO WAY deterred from the story. Looking back now that I know who it was there were a few clues I could have picked up on better. The tension in wondering who is following and watching Nell and wants to kill her keeps you turning the pages. Paris masterfully weaves suspense and emotional complexity, making this book a standout.
Five great stars for this novel. The narrator was wonderful and kept me fully engaged the entire time. It’s definitely one of my favorites from B.A. Paris to date.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the advanced reading copy of this intense thriller.
