Plot
Dr. Bryce Davison is a mental health professional. When he realizes that he has a stalker, the list of potential suspects is quite long. This makes for an interesting mystery. I could immediately tell that the author works or has worked in the industry, because the writing has an authentic feel that permeates through the setting, the plot, and the way that Bryce talks about his career and his patients.

(For instance, it took me a few pages to figure out that “Max” was his dog). That said, it’s definitely worth pushing through those first few chapters, because the excitement starts up pretty quickly and doesn’t let up for the whole book.
