For reasons she doesn't understand, her astral body is being called upon to witness a series of brutal slayings. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that she either knew these victims directly or they were related to people she or her husband knew.
The hero is a Manhattan police lieutenant named Eric Siuda, who investigates the slayings and who becomes romantically involved with Janet. Together they sort out what is happening
and try, with Russ Stapleton's beyond-the-grave help, to thwart the villain, a man named Jim Dawson. Russ, who had a long and tortured history with Jim Dawson, recognized the evil in the man and is determined to destroy him even after death. Lacking the physical means to accomplish the deed, he draws an unwitting
Janet into his nightmare scenario as intermediary.
The conclusion pits Janet and Eric against Jim Dawson in the basement
of a Long Island house in an unearthly showdown to the death.

The horror was starting again....You know when a book starts with that sentence you are in for a spine-tingling thrill ride! "The Watcher" did not disappoint, it was that plus much more! From the first page to the last page, you are treated to alot of pulse pounding chills and thrills with a little romance thrown into the mix. Once I started reading, I didn't want to stop. If you enjoy murder mysteries,serial killers, paranormal, and story-lines where the anticipation keeps building with each turn of the page, then you will love "The Watcher"!

The Watcher is a fascinating complex fast paced thrill ride that kept me turning pages. I'm not usually a fan of out of body experience stories but this one was gripping from the very beginning . There are characters to love and admire and the bad guys are really bad with a fair amount of death and destruction. There are so many twists and spine tingling turns. All the whys and character motivations become clear as the story reaches its conclusion. This is a super thriller I found intriguing and can recommend to anyone looking for a real page turner.

This is the second ebook I've read written by John Brinling and, I must say, I am not disappointed.

This is a murder-mystery/whodunit/paranormal experiences all wrapped up in one. Once I began this book, I was quickly intrigued and did not want to stop.

I will say that the reader pretty much knew who was committing the murders early on into the story, but that did not take away from the story! All it did, for me, was to make one wonder how everything was going to work out so the evil person/people would be found out. Would good triumph over evil? Would Janet have a happy ending? These questions and more kept me aptly reading until the end.

If you enjoy a murder mystery with a slightly different twist to it, then trust me when I say that you will enjoy reading The Watcher.

I seriously couldn't put this book down - credible enough that I kept reading, yet so intriguing, and challenging the boundaries of reality so I kept wondering "what next"?! I loved it! I now have two more titles by Mr Brinling!
