I'm a big fan of mysteries and thrillers so couldn't say no to reading what I assume will be the start of a new detective series. Overall I enjoyed the plot in this book, however I did feel it could've been fleshed out a bit more (more happening with the stalking side of things) and I would've liked more action/depth when the stalker was revealed. The author did a good a job of giving the characters distinct personalities/backstories and describing/building their relationships to one another. I would happily read further books to see how the relationships change and grow.

i was gripped from the first until the last page with this book.
it captured that great thriller content of making the book not only thrilling but unsettling too.
it made me feel all goosepimply to imagine our character being stalked, but then also knowing what could possibly happen to her since her stalker was using content from her own novels! it made it all the more scary.
Camilla is a bestselling crime writer. but things take a very dark turn when she finds shes being stalked. darker still is that this crosses a whole new line when the stalker is using content and inspiration from her own novels on her. you really feel the obsession coming off the page with this one. and how paranoid and fearful a victim must feel.
we also have our DS Alice who is having her own life wobbles and thinks this case is just what she needs. but even then she starts to doubt herself as this stalker seems intent on going through with his actions and keeping himself well hidden.
its continues to ramp up the suspense right until the very end. and i was needing this to come to a happy ending right until i read the conclusion. because i needed to know that the stalker wouldnt get away with it! so it added more need to keep turning those pages to get to the end. and that makes a very good thriller for me,

A dark and twisted thriller that blurs the lines between fiction and reality!
A great read with some brilliant plot twists and characters. Refreshing to read something so well thought out.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my ARC

I really struggled to get into this.
Sorry to say i ended up skimming through, just not for me.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

This is a fresh and witty new voice in detective fiction. DS Alice Washington is a cynical and sardonic observer and commenter and this book made me laugh out loud multiple times. I loved her character and the cast of people around her.

The police procedural element felt authentic and detailed so it was no surprise to read that the author has worked with the police service.

I enjoyed the twisty plot and the way the cliffhangers and lingering questions were played out. This is an accomplished debut and I'm looking forward to more in the series.

She wrote a killer story. Now it's coming true... In the small village of Fortbridge, it's hard to keep a secret. But bestselling crime writer Camilla Harton-Gray is faced with a twist she couldn't see coming: her very own stalker, whose behavior seems to take a leaf out of Camilla's own novels! Good book! This book had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a good who done it and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was interesting, it wasn't one of my top favorite, for some reason I just couldn’t get into it?! but still worth reading! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
