Book Summary

When local radio personality Bronson Melville is accused of murder, the crime appears to be one of passion. The case should be open and shut. But as Detective Gage Tipton soon discovers, this homicide is just one piece in a diabolical puzzle that will test his instincts to their limit. As Gage struggles to uncover the evidence that will bring down the suspect once and for all, he finds his efforts frustrated at every turn by the ruthless interference of Melville's big-shot attorney.

When a second body is discovered, the shocking identity of the victim strikes dangerously close to home, and Gage's investigation gets personal. With his theories turned upside down, Gage is back to the drawing board— but this time, with the assistance of a beautiful woman as intent on finding the truth as he is. Time is running out as Gage tracks the twisted trail of a murderer who will not hesitate to kill again. 


My Review
Watch Your Back is an exciting book to read. Main character Detective Gage Tipton was my favorite in the novel. Though he had so many things riding against him, including the bad guys going after him and his potential love interest, Gage just doesn't get a break that often. The thing I loved most about this novel is that it plays out in your mind like an action movie. The criminals in the book always stay a step ahead of everyone else that keeps the readers on edge. The "BAD" guys in this novel are very bad reminiscent of the mafia. 

I devoured this book over a single weekend reading it as often as I could. It was a hard one to put down, so I suggest you put aside a good amount of time to sit down and read this novel. It would be a great book to listen to on Audible. Clair Poulson has written so many great novels in the past, but I would put this up there as one of his very best. I loved it! With so much action and intrigue, this thriller will keep you jumping and pacing until the final dramatic end.
