The writing is sharp and crisp. The characters are secretive, obsessive, and impulsive. And the plot is a disturbingly eerie tale of control, obsession, deception, jealousy, betrayal, depravity, senseless violence, and murder. They were right, although personally it was a little later. Even after this point I still didn’t really get into this. Although there was a bit towards the end that I could easily have read till well past bedtime. I love the sub stories that Peter writes, and the ending in each chapter makes you want to read the next. As a huge fan of the author, both his Roy Grace series and his standalone books. I was very keen to read this. Now the book is easy to guess, at every juncture but didn’t bother me at all and heightened the excitement as knew what was about to happen

I Follow You by Peter James - Pan Macmillan

Marcus Valentine is a husband, father to 3 small children and a respected obstetrician. And he has a dark side. From the moment that he sees Georgie Maclean, a personal trainer, out running he becomes obsessed with her, determined to make her his. He is devious, deluded and very dangerous. The small island community of Jersey is close knit, nobody knows the real Marcus.. but they are about to find out. What lengths will her go to get what he wants? Marcus never really got over his first love at school and even though he is now married with children, he still thinks of her. Here is a story of obsession, stalking and narcissism that ends with a tense thrilling good enough for TV finale Driving to work one morning, his mind elsewhere and not on the road, he almost mows down a female jogger on a crossing. As she runs on, Marcus is transfixed. Infatuated. She is the spitting image of a girl he was crazy about in his teens. A girl he has never been able to get out of his mind.I love Peter James novels and very rarely disappointed. This stand alone is another winner and sure to satisfy his faithful following. Unfortunately Mr James has become lazy in his writing style with very repetitive chapters and dull storytelling. I’m a massive fan of Peter James and love his Roy Grace series and therefore bought every other book he has written too and I am very rarely disappointed!! There is nothing likeable about Marcus, his jealous behaviour is creepy and chilling and his character comes across very clearly. There are some sections of high intensity, there is tension and the ending is good. However, much of the plot is predictable, some of the dialogue is nauseatingly cheesy and at times the over-detail feels like plot padding.

From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes I Follow You, a nerve-shredding standalone thriller.

I found it especially compelling as it was chillingly real and impactful. It gave me the eebie jeebies! To the outside world, suave, charming and confident doctor Marcus Valentine has it all. A loving wife, three kids, a great job. But there’s something missing, there always has been… or rather, someone… There is a lot, too much, medical information given tbh and lots of gynaecological references throughout and it would be easy to get bogged down with this if let yourself, then again it is a book based around medicine and hospitals so guess there is a fine line on how detailed to go? The fact that she's delighted that a Doctor is now following her progress and makes her feel validated was when I realised I was hooked. Peter James is author of the long running Detective Roy Grace series. I Follow You is a stand alone, psychological thriller that had me enthralled from start to finish. I love his writing style and the way he writes his characters - you will have strong feelings about them all. This story is a rollercoaster and I loved it.
