I have been a fan of M. William Phelps for some time now - as should anyone be that enjoys true crime.
I'll Be Watching You is based around the crimes of Ned Snelgrove - a sociopath determined to outdo his 'hero' Ted Bundy.
This novel is done so well. Being based around true facts - authors can sometimes turn a novel into more of a true crime factual reading and lose a good story. Although remaining true to the facts of this case - the author takes the reader on a journey through the complete thing - not just the crimes and the trial - but also the victims - those left behind - those who find the victims - in short it is 'complete' - nothing is lost. You feel for the victims and those others left behind. You hate Snelgrove - his lies uncovered before your eyes.
From turning the first page I was thoroughly hooked - the writing fluent - easy to read - so so hard to put down. Most importantly - you feel like you know the whole story - that no stone has been left unturned.
Simply put - M. William Phelps has done it again!
