About this ebook
Laura discovers too late why Monica was so afraid. Someone was stalking her—someone who left her slashed and bludgeoned body in her Cambridge flat.
Flooded with shock, grief, and guilt, Laura feels compelled to investigate, despite protests from her business and personal partner, detective Sonny Mendlowitz. As she narrows down her list of suspects, the killer is invading Wildfell, determined to turn Helen and Laura’s sanctuary into a deathtrap....
"Terrific characters....The pace in this story never flags...an auspicious debut for what promises to be an excellent series." —Margaret Cannon, Toronto Globe and Mail
“Every Breath You Take is astute, entertaining, right-minded and carefully constructed....” —Patricia Craig, Times Literary Supplement (London)
“Sheer good writing....seriously creepy.” —Frances Fyfield, author of A Clear Conscience
“A gripping mystery, a feminist's dream in which the heroine does not wait to be rescued by the most convenient man....The comparison has been made with Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone...and there are similarities. The differences are perhaps more English ones than anything else....There is an exciting, edge-of-the-seat denouement....” —Florence Gilkeson, The Pilot (Southern Pines, NC)

About the author
After her early life and university education in Canada, Michelle Spring moved to England, where she held posts as Professor of Sociology at Anglia Ruskin University and as Royal Literary Fellow at both Newnham College and Magdalene College, University of Cambridge. She published scholarly books (on reproductive technologies, politics and education) under the name Michelle Stanworth.
Michelle and her family were threatened by a dangerous stalker in the 1990s.That experience triggered her interest in crime writing. Every Breath You Take, the novel that introduces PI Laura Principal, is the first in a series of five set in the historic university city of Cambridge. It dives feet-first into the subject of stalking, as does the later London-based standalone titled The Night Lawyer.
