You can write a review of Kaufman's books before you've even read them because of the inevitability: it will be excellent, gripping and flippin' brilliant.
This* is, obviously, all of the above. One of Kaufman's (many) talents seems to be managing to make you think you are reading a very long book when in fact, it isn't. Inside 260 perfectly constructed pages, there's War-and-Peace-length tome busting to get out. Carefully chosen words masterfully put together give you an enthralling plot full of suspense and captivating from start to finish.
This is the first in a new series (Edge of Fear): an agoraphobic author is put through a reign of terror by a stalker (see About the Book below). I'll be honest, I did suss out the perpetrator fairly early on, and the ending wasn't a total surprise: as I neared the finale, a (correct) possibility did cross my mind. But, but, but, this didn't spoil my enjoyment one jot, not a one. The journey was just as thrilling, exciting and satisfying.
