The Watcher Girl by Minka Kent Book Review


 

I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.

Grace McMullen works for a company who delves into the deep dark web to uncover and destroy information people don’t want on the Internet. This leads her to looking into Sutton’s life. Sutton is her ex-boyfriend from long ago. It turns out he has married someone who looks suspiciously like Grace, so she takes it upon herself to go back home to apologize. She meets Campbell, Sutton’s wife, and also their little girl, surprisingly named Grace but whom they call Gigi. Grace, being one not to get close to anyone, develops sort of a friendship with Campbell.

This is also a story of Grace renewing her family connections with her dad, her sister (Rose), her father’s current girlfriend (Bliss, who holds a secret of her own). Grace also has a brother, Sebastian, but he is away at law school and is not an integral part of this story. Grace was adopted by the McMullens but she never really felt a part of the family, like there was some cloud hanging over her head, a darkness inside.

Through this tale, she discovers that some of her truths that she had been holding onto all these years are not the truth at all.

This tale really takes a turn when Campbell reveals yet another secret to Grace … Grace being her doubting self lends herself to believing Campbell. This is where the path veers off in another direction altogether.

If you enjoy psychological thrillers, then I am sure you will enjoy this one. This one will take you down a slow path, leading you in one direction and then veering off in another direction altogether. I think you will be surprised and most definitely will enjoy this one! I look forward to reading more from Ms. Kent.
