About this deal

I listened to the book's audio version. The narrator was just OK. This book would have strongly benefited from multiple narrators since it was not always clear who was saying what as each chapter unfolded. I can be quite harsh when it comes to the details of medicine and the medical profession in a fictional book. But, in this case, I was able to suspend some disbelief and go with the story of a stalker physician. In Marcus’ mind, he is meant to be with Georgie so he goes to extreme lengths to try and make it happen. On his way to work he is rushing through traffic as he’s running late and nearly hits a blonde woman who is out running. When he sees her his world stops as she looks just like Lynette, his first love. There is a lot, too much, medical information given tbh and lots of gynaecological references throughout and it would be easy to get bogged down with this if let yourself, then again it is a book based around medicine and hospitals so guess there is a fine line on how detailed to go?

Driving to work one morning, his mind elsewhere and not on the road, he almost mows down a female jogger on a crossing. As she runs on, Marcus is transfixed. Infatuated. She is the spitting image of a girl he was crazy about in his teens. A girl he has never been able to get out of his mind. The writing is sharp and crisp. The characters are secretive, obsessive, and impulsive. And the plot is a disturbingly eerie tale of control, obsession, deception, jealousy, betrayal, depravity, senseless violence, and murder. I’ve read lots of books that feature stalkers in all shapes sizes and forms but Marcus is truly one of the most ‘weaselly’ of characters, petulant, childish, whiney, self centred and arrogant

Georgie doesn’t recognise Marcus but he makes sure he gets to know her that night and leaves her feeling a bit uncomfortable. All in all a dark book about a man who appears to be the epitome of all that is great when actually he is the reverse, and then some

The author was adept at keeping me on the edge of my seat in the latter chapters when Marcus’s delusions and manipulations come to a surprising and explosive conclusion. Georgina Maclean or Georgie, as she is better known as, is the jogger who Marcus narrowly misses, and one look at her kindles a long-smoldering fire within his mind. During his teenage years, he used to obsess over a girl called Lynette, and his short tryst and subsequent break-up with her, left him feeling completely shortchanged and he had never really stopped thinking about her or moved on from wanting her. Despite the decades that have passed by, medical education, and many positive turns his life has taken since then, his love and desire for Lynette, remain unrequited. In Georgie, he finds such a likeness to Lynette, he initially is convinced it is Lynette. Now the book is easy to guess, at every juncture but didn’t bother me at all and heightened the excitement as knew what was about to happen After almost accidentally running over a woman (Georgie), the protagonist (Dr. Valentine) begins to delusionally believe that he and Georgie are meant to be together.

I won’t say anymore as I really don’t want to spoil it fir you, but I will say this book has some nail biting moments which will have you on the edge of your seat. To the outside world, suave, charming and confident doctor Marcus Valentine has it all. A loving wife, three kids, a great job. But there’s something missing, there always has been. . . . or rather, someone . . .From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes I Follow You, a nerve-shredding standalone thriller. Here is a story of obsession, stalking and narcissism that ends with a tense thrilling good enough for TV finale

The story centres around top Gynaecologist Marcus Valentine and his fixation for a woman who reminds him of a girl he had his first sexual encounter with The fact that she's delighted that a Doctor is now following her progress and makes her feel validated was when I realised I was hooked.
