Every Breath You Take
London-based P.I. Laura Principal and her old college friend Helen Cochrane love Wildfell Cottage, their weekend retreat on the Norfolk coast. But lately, the upkeep has been a burden. A friend recommends an art teacher, Monica Harcourt, to share the expenses—yet when they meet, Laura is uncomfortable with Monica, whose sunny personality is overshadowed by unexplained bouts of fearfulness.
Laura discovers too late why Monica was so afraid. Someone was stalking her—someone who left her slashed and bludgeoned body in her Cambridge flat.
Flooded with shock, grief, and guilt, Laura feels compelled to investigate, despite protests from her business and personal partner, detective Sonny Mendlowitz. As she narrows down her list of suspects, the killer is invading Wildfell, determined to turn Helen and Laura’s sanctuary into a deathtrap....

“A gripping mystery, a feminist's dream in which the heroine does not wait to be rescued by the most convenient man....The comparison has been made with Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone...and there are similarities. The differences are perhaps more English ones than anything else....There is an exciting, edge-of-the-seat denouement....” —Florence Gilkeson, The Pilot (Southern Pines, NC)
