I've read a few of his books now, the most recent ones. This is another tense story, how one random event can affect every aspect of your life, of obsession.

Some questions occurred to me as I was reading, could the story have gone in a different direction if Joe had handled the situation differently? Did he actually accelerate the events? If his stalker had been a woman and not a man, would Clarissa have taken it more seriously from the start?

It really stuck with me after I finished it, making me wonder how life can suddenly move direction so quickly when you make an on-the-spot decision.
