Every Move You Make

Anonymity by author John Nicole is a great fast paced psychological/suspenseful/crime thriller. Basically it’s a woman’s worst nightmare turned reality. The characters are developed great and the plot is thick, I would recommend Anonymity to anyone!

Ooooooh, this is a good one!

Mia, a bestselling author, begins to receive threatening emails that make outrageous demands of her. She vacillates between dismissing them as "coming with the territory"
and the growing and gnawing fear that her stalker is not only dangerous but deadly. She eventually engages the services of a family friend, Detective Graves, an overweight, alcoholic badass on medical leave.

This is my favorite kind of thriller because Mia's POV alternates with the antagonist and Nicholl does an outstanding job of giving us a peek into the mind of this kind of sociopath.

This is book is a gritty, "sitting on the edge of your seat" ride that I was happy to go on with John Nicholl. I look so forward to more by this author.

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC and to the magnificent Mr. Nicholl for giving me an advanced copy in exchange for this honest review!

Mia is an author who works from home, the mom of a 4-year-old girl. For some reason, someone has targeted her by email and her life, as she knows it, starts to end.

First come the emails that threaten her, her daughter, her family if she brings in the police. He taunts her by knowing things he shouldn't possibly know ... and she's terrified. His emails demands get more bizarre by the day and the threat of death to her and her daughter intensify.

She eventually turns to DI Gavel, a family friend on medical leave, for help. Gavel receives an email threatening his grown daughter if he helps Mia. How did he know who she was seeing Gavel?

The reader learns early on who the stalker is. Instead of lessening the suspense, it only builds higher, leading to a satisfactory, yet surprising, ending. The characters are finely drawn and the angst is palpable as the stalker turns Mia into a bundle of raw nerves.

This is not my first book by this author, nor will it be the last. I have come to know that whatever he puts on paper turns into a thrilled, gripping psychological thriller that will keep me reading into the early AM hours ... almost afraid to turn off my lights.

Many thanks to the author/ Bloodhound Books / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy of this well written psychological thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This is the fourth book in the brilliant DI Gareth Gravel series. Grav is on extended sick leave following another heart attack when the daughter of an old family friend contacts him for help. Mia is a successful novelist, recovering from cancer and a broken relationship and now trying to forge a new life with her young daughter Isabella. All is well until she starts to receive strange then ever threatening emails from "her number one fan". When Grav's daughter Emily is also threatened he is forced to involve his colleague Acting DI Laura Kesey as Mia begins to fall apart and people start dying. We know all the way through who the killer is. The author gives us plenty of insight into the mind of this deranged personality as the tensions builds in the race to catch the perpetrator and prevent any more deaths. No spoilers, I loved the book but I so wish it had a different ending! Another cracking read!!

Oh My Goodness. This was bloody brilliant. Dark, grim, disturbing and twisted. Parts of this book are not for the faint hearted, even made my stomach turn at parts.

That ending was a total jaw dropper, unexpected. Anonymity will have you on the edge of your seat throughout. You will be secretly shouting at Mia to wake up, see what’s right in front of her. Thrilling, gripping and brilliant. Enjoyed this one.

Brilliantly written, fast paced and a page turner of a read. A well deserved five stars from me. Highly recommend! Johns story have never let me down yet and this was no exception. Brilliant author. Brilliant stories.

Anonymity is by far my favorite dark and disturbing psychological thriller of the year I have read so far. This book should be on the best sellers list. You will be on the edge of your seat flipping through the pages reading it all in one night. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Anonymity by John Nichol
DI Gravel #4

With the fourth and final book in this series we say goodbye to Inspector Gravel but before we do so he is asked by a family friend to help her deal with a person sending her threatening emails. We learn early on who the person threatening her is and just how twisted and depraved he can be. Putting him down like a rabid dog would be too good for him! I wanted her to be saved but there were times that she and he sister made me think TSTL (too stupid to live). Even knowing that Mia had suffered breast cancer and then become dependent on opioids that might be altering her ability to think as she should didn’t take away the times I wanted to grab and shake her.

I did enjoy the story and found it believable for the most part. I wonder if there will be a future series that will star the police department Grav belonged to or if the author will move on to something else.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloodhound Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3-4 Stars
