    About this audiobook

    Unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and riveting suspense: These are the trademarks of beloved author Judith McNaught. With millions of devoted fans and ten New York Times bestsellers to date, McNaught is a writer whose work just gets better with each new novel-and Every Breath You Take is the book readers have been waiting for. Returning to the lavish Chicago setting of her popular novel Paradise, and revisiting some of that book's characters as well, this story will captivate in inimitable Judith McNaught style.

    High atop a snow-covered hill, the stately old Wyatt mansion is perched like a crown, its stone spires pointing upward, its stained glass windows glowing like colorful jewels. Such opulence means success and, surely, happiness. But on the eve of wealthy philanthropist Cecil Wyatt's eightieth birthday, all the money in the world won't bring back his missing grandson, William Wyatt. The only thing for certain: Foul play was involved.

    The family, the police, the media-all have tried in vain to discover the young man's fate. Now suspicion has turned shockingly toward William's own half-brother, the rather distant and enigmatic Mitchell Wyatt.

    Kate Donovan never dreamed that a chance romantic encounter on a tropical island paradise would tag her as a suspect in a high-society murder case. But after Kate tangles with the darkly charismatic Mitchell Wyatt, she finds herself cast in a shadow of guilt and mistrust. As the Chicago police tighten their net, it will take all of Kate's ingenuity to clear her name. With her calm, cool wit, and the help of a man who may or may not be a dangerous catch, Kate vows to claim the life and love she desires.

      The Police song, ‘Every Breath You Take’, was a huge hit n its initial release back in the early 1980s, and has been one of the most popular records on radio stations specialising in older songs. It has also been chosen by thousands of couples to be played at their wedding, which demonstrates the extent to which people can remain blind to a work’s central theme. It may be a love song, but it is also a rather bleak confession of a would-be stalker.Michelle Spring does recognise the meaning of the song, and it proves an apposite title for her first novel featuring private detective Laura Principal. Ms Principal is an intriguing character. Her first career choice had been as an academic, lecturing in history at what is clearly meant to be a precursor of the Anglia Ruskin University (not the ‘Angela Raskin University’, as one of my friends genuinely misheard it). Deciding that academia was not for her, she eventually found herself working as a private detective, engaged primarily in commercial cases related to attempted business espionage.Laura and her closest friend Helen jointly own a cottage in Norfolk where they spend occasional weekends retreating from the stresses f regular life. Having found that this was proving a drain on their respective finances, they were delighted when a friend of a friend mooted the idea of buying into their ownership of the cottage. This seems like a great solution until the new partner, Monica, is found brutally murdered in her Cambridge flat. Although she already has a few cases on her books, Laura conducts her own investigation alongside that pursued by the police, and finds that Monica had been scared for some time, convince that she was being watched and followed wherever she went. The story is well constructed, and Michelle Spring maintains a deft balance between Laura’s investigation of Monica’s murder and her existing cases. The suspense is taut, and the characters are well drawn. I have a vague recollection of seeing Michelle Spring interviewed on television several years ago, and believe that this story was inspired by her own experiences of having been stalked, before the offence was as well recognised as it is now.My only cavil about the novel was that it seemed to end very quickly. Having carefully laid the plot to a taut denouement, it was suddenly all over.
    • 4/5
      love how the author uses lots of places around Cambridge. Good characters and good plotting. Built into the East Anglican Caper. Michelle had dinner with us and went punting, and she showed us the house of Jeffrey Archer in Grantchester.

      Oh! I’m almost sad this book ended. Wish I could read more of it. “With every breath I take”. That brought tears to my eyes. Loved this book
    • 3/5
      I like this novel, in fact I have a hard copy of it, I just want to hear the audio version. I'm a bit disappointed, cause there are portions on the book that's not included in the audio book, like the scene when leading man is reading bed time story to his son after the abduction, some part of their conversation on the restaurant, before and after the party scenes in the hotel, their reconciliation, the part when they send invitations to their guests. And I guess many others I'm just not paying much attention on the earlier part of the track. :-(
