Watching Over Me (Crime After Crime #1) by M.K. Farrar

Amy has a less than ideal childhood, but she strives to help children being a (Child) psychotherapist. When a very troubled twelve year old boy shows up at her office she does her best to help him. Her concern for this patient leads her down a dangerous path while determined to find the truth.

A fast paced thrilling psychological read. Attention to detail pulled me deep into the story. Some twists, turns and shocking revelations had me on edge. Compelling, intense and suspenseful from the first page until the last.

Overall I found Watching Over Me enjoyable. I highly recommend to those who enjoy psychological thrillers. I look forward to reading more by M.K. Farrar .… (mere)

3.5 Stars

A quick and compelling police procedural that has a man with a twisted mind gouging eyes out of his victims heads. I really enjoyed how short this was as it was all action and no fillers to plump up the story i.e. drag it out. The plot is very simple and it isn't subtle. There are no clever revelations and the cast are your straight forward 'damaged villain whose mother was awful' and 'damaged female cop struggling to move on from a tragedy and balance motherhood and work.' Nothing fresh or original but pretty entertaining nonetheless. A good start to a series that I will look to continue reading.
