Description

International #1 bestseller Jeffery Deaver delivers a sensational thriller in which a beautiful young country-pop singer is stalked by an obsessive fan who thinks her big hit song was written just for him, featuring Deaver's popular character California Bureau of Investigation agent Kathryn Dance.

Kayleigh Towne’s music career is just reaching new heights with her huge hit single “Your Shadow”—but increased fame is also bringing unwanted attention. An innocent exchange with one of her fans, signed with an “XO,” leads Kayleigh into the dangerous and terrifying realm of obsession.

Edwin Sharp thinks Kayleigh’s songs contain messages that speak directly to him. Despite her clear rejection and threats from lawyers and law enforcers, he remains convinced that “Your Shadow” was written just for him, and he announces he’s coming for Kayleigh. Then a potentially fatal accident occurs at the concert hall where Kayleigh is rehearsing for a triumphant hometown performance, and she is convinced that someone—maybe Edwin—was there watching her from the darkness.

Speeding along over just three short days, this nail-biting thriller is filled with terrifying twists that will hold readers in rapt suspense until the final shocking revelation.

    I am very sorry I wasted my time reading this book. Cardboard characters and thin plotting. This is a book written by an author with a left wing agenda, particularly with regard to illegal immigration. That might be okay except that there no grace, style or nuance. It should therefore be no shock to learn that the villains are a group of CONSERVATIVE RICH WHITE MEN who pull the levers from behind the scenes. The phrase "jumped the shark" applies-in chapter 57 we jarringly learn that these evildoers have their own man on the inside. He is plotting to kill the nice liberal politician who is speaking out on behalf of those poor unfortunates who have broken our laws and entered the country illegally. People on the right are stereotypical cardboard cutouts. There is no depth or substance here, no real discussion of the issues from either the Liberal or conservative viewpoint and certainly no evenhandedness. More to the point, this book is poorly written drivel. Whatever your political bent, don't waste your time reading this tripe.

    It's always a treat to open a new Jeffrey Deaver and 'XO' did not disappoint . Taut plotting, excellent, evocative writing and well drawn characters are Deaver's hallmark and this book had it all. 'XO' has lots of twists and turns, keeping the reader totally engrossed. I Love Kathryn Dance as a lead character. Can't wait for the next one.
  • Awesome Story!!!!!
