WATCH US FALL

CHRISTINA KOVAC

Watch Us Fall, by thriller writer Christina Kovac, makes the reader feel as if they have just gone ten rounds with a heavyweight fighter. The beauty of Watch is that it appeals to both the large True Crime audience and well-established fans of these psychological mysteries. The novel begins with 100% optimism, glamour, and lifelong ambition, then delivers the hook: somebody disappears.

The story centres on Lucy and her pals, who live in Georgetown, one of the more tony areas of our capital. The problems begin when Josh, one of the members' exes, disappears.

As with any well-written psychological crime story, friendships decay, replaced by privilege, delusion, and other unattractive traits that have been hiding beneath this seemingly ideal group of friends. Lucy, the power behind the throne, becomes obsessed with finding Josh. The truth behind the disappearance is worth staying up all night to read this thriller that keeps on giving long into the night.
