‘Watch Her Sleep’ by L.T. Vargus and Tim McBain is the third book in the Private Investigator Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Winters series which is set in and around Salem Island, Michigan. I am lucky enough to have read all 3 books in the series but, just so you know, they can all be read on their own.

Charlie has now settled into her relatively new role as a P.I in her Uncle Frank’s agency. She has a visit from Emma Jacobis who is certain she is being stalked and what she has to say certainly worries Charlie so she immediately accepts the case, as the police won’t do anything until a crime is committed. As they painstakingly go through the people in her life who could possibly be doing this, including her ex, Charlie tells Emma to stay away from her home until she has a chance to fit security measures. Emma makes the deadly error to go for some clothes.

Charlie realises Emma is missing and gets a search party, only to find her body with her throat cut. Then another girl goes missing…can Charlie find and stop this monster before another girl dies?

Yet another intriguing and creepy case for Charlie to deal with. Another excellently written, enthralling book from these two talented authors. I found this book the most disturbing of all the series up to now as the stalker gives us his point of view in this story and we get a glimpse of his very distorted mind.

I was hooked from the beginning as we are immediately thrown shown the victim and the stalker in a scene that almost gave me goosebumps. As I always find with this series; the twists and turns really heightened the intrigue and suspense of the story making me feel like I needed to know what came next and I started to turn the pages faster! As the series progresses the characters are developing well, to the point that I welcomed another book in the series so I could catch up with Charlie.

I’m looking forward to the next instalment of P.I. Charlotte Winters and can’t wait to see what our talented authors come up with next.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the copy of the book.
