The Shut-In

James Patterson’s BookShots. Short, fast-paced, high-impact entertainment.

I know you're watching me.

Confined to a studio apartment, Tricia Celano watches the outside world through a flying drone. But when her high-tech toy records a vicious murder, she's determined to track down the killer – a killer who knows she's being watched.

A compelling page-turner which kept me reading well into the night. This book will make any woman look at her best friend with more than a touch of suspicion . . .

One Little Mistake is a great page-turner: entertaining and thrilling, right up to the dramatic ending.
