Because She Loves Me by Mark Edwards

Because She Loves Me by Mark Edwards
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer (September 2014)
352 pages, eBook (borrowed from the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
Content Note: Includes Swearing, Sexual Situations and Violence

Andrew stumbled upon Charlie just when he was wishing for a girlfriend, his solitary life as a work-from-home freelancer had gotten a bit old and he was ready for a change, but he seemed to stumble into a bit of bad luck around the same time and soon his friends and acquaintances seemed affected with the same bad luck. Riveting stalker-type psychological thriller, with a twist at the end. For me the twist came way out of left field and I’m not sure I really made it all the way around the corner in believing the explanation at the end—things just couldn’t be made clean for me—too much taint lying around. Other than the wrap-up, it was a really good read—fast-paced, ambiguous motivations in many quarters, with a slow reveal on the mystery portion. Now, I’m anxious to read The Magpies!
