Terry Halstead, psychologist, thought she had a bad day trying to counsel three sets of hostile parents in total denial.  She couldn't wait to get home and take a hot bath, have two extra-strength Excedrin and indulge in a long nap.  She was thankful that her cousin and roommate, Stephanie, was enroute to the Hamptons.  She had the place to herself - or did she?  Terry's "bad day" was nothing compared to what was about to happen.

Much to Terry's surprise, she found her cousin's boyfriend, Gordon Mallory, in her living room.  She figured Stephanie was in the bedroom gathering some last minute surprises for the bash on Gordon's yacht.  Terry told Gordon that she didn't mean to be rude but had a terrible headache and was hoping for some downtime.  He offered to give her a back rub to ease the stress.  When Terry asked if Stephanie was in her room, Gordon replied that she was not there.  Apparently, she was completing an audition.  Terry's heart began to pound.  She didn't know whether Gordon was drunk or delusional.  Gordon started to attack Terry.  She was saved by the sound of Stephanie's voice on the intercom.  Gordon let go of Terry but made the chilling remark "We'll finish this - until then I'll be watching you."

Terry reported this incident to the police.  She received a call one evening from Detective Hadman informing her that there was an accident involving Gordon's yacht.  There was an explosion and everyone on the yacht was killed, including Gordon - but was Gordon really dead?

Terry soon begins to receive e-mails with the words "I'll be Watching You" in the contents.  The e-mails are only the beginning.  Who is doing this to Terry?  Is Gordon still alive?  Is it his twin brother, Jonathan?  Is it someone she is counseling? 

This is an excellent psychological thriller.  It is fast paced and will keep you on the edge of your seat.  It has a chilling storyline that will keep you very interested.  One recommendation - Don't read this book while you are home alone!  Do read this book.  It is an excellent attention grabber that will hold you hostage!
