Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Michael Robotham brings us face-to-face with a manipulative psychopath who has destroyed countless lives and is about to claim one final victim.

Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched: a warm breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye that vanishes when she turns her head.

She has reason to be frightened. Her husband Daniel has inexplicably vanished, and the police have no leads in the case. Without proof of death or evidence of foul play, she can't access his bank accounts or his life insurance. Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin.

O'Loughlin is concerned by Marnie's reluctance to talk about the past and anxious to uncover what Marnie is withholding that could help with her treatment. The breakthrough in Marnie's therapy and Daniel's disappearance arrives when Marnie shares with O'Loughlin her discovery of the Big Red Book, a collage of pictures, interviews, and anecdotes from Marnie's friends and relatives that Daniel had been compiling as part of a surprise birthday gift.

Daniel's explorations into Marnie's past led him to a shocking revelation on the eve of his disappearance: Anyone who has ever gotten close to Marnie has paid an exacting price. A cold-blooded killer is eliminating the people in Marnie's life, and now that O'Laughlin is a part of it, he is next in line.

Goodreads review by Andrew on November 04, 2018

I’ve always enjoyed psychological thrillers so it's a little strange that I haven't read Michael Robotham before. Of course, my antipathy towards British based novels of any type may account for it. But I've overcome this for Ian Rankin and William Boyd and I can now add another author to this dimin......more

I pulled a Pat* with this one and I’m so glad I did and it’s made me want to read the others it was so good. Are Marnie Logan’s instincts right that she is being watched? This is the tip of the iceberg of what she’s got going on in her life. She consults clinical psychologist Joe O’Loughlin. This is......more

5★ “On the journey home, she tries to pretend that everything is normal when she fears nothing will ever be normal again. Her life is crumbling and she’s holding it together like a child protecting a sandcastle from the waves.” I got really caught up in this one. I was pleased to see that both Profess......more

Goodreads review by Erin on October 05, 2020

Each book in this series just keeps getting better & better! (& more terrifying!) Obviously the reason I love a (good) book series is because you get to know the characters... & while that's definitely true here, i do have to say that each book would be exceptional even without that prior attachment......more

The first book I've read by Robotham, and it definitely won't be the last. Loved it.
