"The multimillion-copy and New York Times bestseller B. A. Paris returns with a triumphant, unsettling new suspense novel. Who is watching Nell Masters? Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she's hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own. Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger's car. When Bryony was found murdered, El...le became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . . Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?"-- Provided by publisher.

Review by Library Journal Review

Nell Masters has a comfortable life in London, plus a new boyfriend, but all of it is tinged with fear, as she is convinced that a killer is stalking her. She feels that she's being watched on her way to work, and she's receiving anonymous flower deliveries and phone calls with no one on the other end of the line. It is revealed that 14 years ago, when she was known as Elle Nugent, she witnessed the abduction of a student who later turned up dead. Elle gave police a description of the abductor, whom she became obsessed with tracking down. Her pursuit of the presumed killer ultimately got her warned off by the police, caused several deaths, ruined her relationship, and forced her to adopt a new identity. Now she feels hunted. She considers revealing her past life to her friends but isn't sure she can trust them, or the police. As Nell's fear grows, it is paired with journal entries from her stalker, ratcheting up the tension. VERDICT This satisfyingly creepy novel is a solid addition to Paris's collection of nail-biters, including Behind Closed Doors and The Guest.--Susan Clifford Braun
