Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched. Nothing she can quite put her finger on - a whisper of breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye - and now her life is frozen. Her husband Daniel has been missing for more than a year.

Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin. Joe is concerned by Marnie's reluctance to talk about the past, but then she discovers a book packed with pictures, interviews with friends, former teachers, old flames and workmates Daniel was preparing for her birthday. It was supposed to be a celebration of her life. But it's not the story anyone was expecting...

This was a great book

Reviewed in Australia on 29 December 2018

I totally enjoyed this book and have to admit that although I love all of Michael Rowbotham's writing, I much prefer reading the Joe O'Loughlin series over anything else he has done. Once again it was an intriguing story with a lot of twists and turns and kept me enthralled right to the end.

The best in this Genre

Reviewed in Australia on 24 June 2014

I am not generally a fan of this type of suspense thriller, retired detective, psychoanalyst type of tale but after reading Shattered I became a big Michael Robothom fan. This writer knows how to create a suspense filled yarn, full of great characters and enough suspense to keep those pages turning. Despite knowing how things are probably going to work out by about half way through this particular book the surprises kept coming. I love a turn of phrase that makes me laugh and this has quite a few clever twists, turns and phrases. The only issue for me is that I thought the ending went just a tiny bit too far - or maybe not. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast paced, character filled adventure with twists, turns and surprises. It does contain the usual Robotham grossness in parts. This writer is the best I have come across in this genre.

This is a really great read. It is suspenseful

Reviewed in Australia on 8 March 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a really great read. It is suspenseful, intriguing and keeps you wanting more. The insight that Joe has into ones character borders on scary. I certainly wouldn't want him near me. LOL I have read the first three books of the Joe O'Loughlin series and will continue to devour every last book.

I will say that Australia is getting ripped off with the price of each book. If I was able to buy directly from the USA the entire series would cost me the price of one book here. Not fair trading.

thoroughly enjoyable

Reviewed in Australia on 11 April 2015

Not gruesome, but a clever and entertaining piece of crime fiction, with natty twists and turns, right to the end. Characters are likeable and the plot doesn't stretch too far from possibility. A good, light page-turner.

Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched. Nothing she can quite put her finger on -- a whisper of breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye -- and now her life is frozen. Her husband Daniel has been missing for more than a year. Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin.

So I'm a huge fan of the Joe O'Loughlin books from Michael Robotham so I was very much looking forward to this one (And hoping that Ruiz would be involved so YAY!) and it didnt disappoint.

Marnie has some godawful problems - a loan shark on her tale, a missing husband and a distinct lack of funds are making for a pretty poor existance. Struggling to cope she turns to Joe for help with her depression...and as things develop it becomes apparent that there is more going on in Marnie's life than initially meets the eye.

One of the strengths of these novels is Mr Robothams ability to write multi layered, psychologically intriguing characters not only with his main protagonists but with those they encounter along the way - even peripheral or secondary characters have a certain depth to them and this makes every story different enough that the series never becomes dull.

Certainly he has managed that here with Marnie, a damaged yet sympathetic woman who has had some major curveballs thrown at her in this game we call life and yet manages to still be standing, albeit rather unsteadily. You will feel for her and want things to start going her way.

The story twists and turns, keeping you on your toes and you will metaphorically cheer when at last Ruiz turns up to keep Joe on the ball and offer some practical support - Joe's own ongoing battle with Parkinsons disease ( an extremely authentic developing character arc) continues to cause him problems and frankly he could do with the help.

Ok so as usual for me I had it all in my head fairly easily as we went along and I was correct in all my assumptions but still I bow to Mr Robothams superior storytelling skills when it comes to turning things on their head at various points and giving me reason to doubt myself.

All in all if you love these novels you will also love this one - the writing standard is as high as it has ever been and it was a highly enjoyable reading experience once more. Whilst there are references to previous events, you could easily pick this one up and read it as a standalone - although personally, as ever, I would say start at the beginning if you are new to this author - that would be "The Suspect".

Happy Reading Folks!

Watching You - Michael Robotham - Creepy Dark and No Stopping It

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2017

Verified Purchase

Creepy and really thought provoking I found this read to be. Really enjoying reading books by this author and this one is dark creepy and had me looking over my shoulder on more than one occasion. No loose ends and for me with keeping me gripped all the way through it made it one of the best reads by Michael Robotham. Yes the blurb says quite a bit about the book but once reading it you realise it will be going somewhere where maybe you don't want it to go but no stopping it.

Zigs-zags away from expectations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2015

How refreshing to read something that zigs-zags away from my expectations, not once, but half a dozen times before page 57. And then continues to keep me guessing and wondering for another 450, only to kick me in the gut with the penultimate but one paragraph.
