Book Review: I Follow You by Peter James

Bestselling author Peter James is known for his crime and thriller books, which are one of my favourite genres, so I was looking forward to reading his latest novel, I Follow You, which was released back in September.

I finally got around to reading it this week, and I thought that this was a great thriller. 

Marcus Valentine is in his mid-forties, married, and the father of three children. He is one of the most respected and trusted gynae-oncologists at the General Hospital in Jersey. 

On his way to work one morning, Marcus has a lapse of concentration which results in him almost running down a female jogger at a pedestrian crossing. As the startled jogger brushes herself  off and continues on her way, Marcus is transfixed by her.

The jogger bears an uncanny resemblance to a girl named Lynette that Marcus was infatuated with in his teens. His first unrequited love, and someone he has never been able to forget. He becomes obsessed with following the jogger her and tracking her down.

Georgie is a personal trainer and is enjoying life with her fiance, with lots of exciting opportunities going on. Thanks to a running app that allows followers to track running times and locations, Marcus tracks Georgie down and it isn't long before things spiral out of control! He becomes obsessed with her and his obsession threatens to destroy both of their worlds.

I would definitely recommend I Follow You if you are a fan of thrillers. It is available through Pan Macmillan Australia, RRP $32.99
