Is Someone Stalking Her, or is She Paranoid?


The divorce has been final for three months, but Kate can’t pull herself together. She’s still taking large quantities of anxiety medication. She tried to be a good wife furthering her husband’s legal careen and keeping life running smoothly. When he decided to move the family back to his hometown, she was hopeful it would mean more togetherness and family time.


Her dreams were dashed when he took up with his high school girlfriend and ultimately asked for a divorce. Now Kate is trying to hold it together for her children who she can’t stand to lose. She also has to deal with Audrey, her husband’s domineering mother.


At her son’s soccer game when trying out a drone for an article she’s writing, the drone hits her in the head. The footage from the drone makes it appear that she has a stalker. Not wanting to appear crazy, particularly in front of the police officer who is trying to help her, she tells a little lie that will haunt her.


This is a fast paced suspense novel. The plot is not particularly difficult to figure out, however, the fact that the pace is fast keeps you reading.


Kate is so tentative and torn with self-doubt and has trouble making decisions that I found her hard to relate to. While this was all right in the opening, I thought it went on too long. I did like Audrey. She was tough, but I thought she was fair and understood the situation much better than Kate.


I received this book from Net Galley for this review.
