I've often wondered, when I hear about a serial killer, what was he thinking? When he killed all those people, what in he world was going on in his head. The Watcher by Alen B. Curtiss puts you inside the head of a serial killer and spins you around.The book is haunting, exciting and scary. Watcher is a page turner. An easy read that draws you in and holds you there.The narrative tells a story that creates a feeling of authenticity even though there are hints of the supernatural.I didn't like the switching of back and forth between the characters when it retold the same parts of the story, just from the other character's POV. It seemed redundant and made the story lose its momentum and intrigue. Also, the side statements, in parentheses seemed inappropriate for the most part. The idea was good but the dialogue didn't fit.Overall, Watcher is a short read but a very enjoyable one and I would readily recommend this book to anyone.
