The Stalker

by

Kate Rhodes


She thinks she understand stalkers. Until she becomes a target . . . 

Elly is an expert in stalking – an academic at Cambridge University and a popular media pundit. She knows the subject intimately: what motivates a stalker, how they behave, how to rehabilitate them.

But now it’s personal. Someone is following her, making silent phone calls and sending her ominous notes. The message is always the same – me or you.

Elly can’t trust anyone – not her family, her friends or her colleagues. She knows that her stalker must be someone close to her. And when they suddenly turn violent, she realizes she’s running out of time to find out who it is.

Because it looks like only one of them will survive.


REVIEW

Elly Shaw is a university professor who teaches psychology at Cambridge university. When she realises she herself is being stalked it is a matter of putting her own teachings into practice whilst keeping herself and her family safe.

She even starts to think it could be her husband Rafe after they separate when she finds out he is having an affair. 

Elly's son Jamie is determined to find out who it is, but he can be reckless and will think nothing of putting himself in danger trying to keep his mother safe. 

I am a huge fan of this author and couldn't wait to read this one. It has everything you need in a great thriller, good characters, suspense, chapters that are short and you just want to read "one more" before going to bed! 

Typically, I trusted no one and suspected everyone and I still got it wrong! Loved it and would thoroughly recommend.
