Product Description
He'll Taste Their Fear...
The first kill was easy. The second much easier. No guilt, no remorse, just a rush of adrenaline surging through him as each life drains away, and the pleasure of knowing that their deaths help his beloved Lindsay. And there are so many more who deserve to die... Hear Their Screams...
The first twisted gift to Lindsay O'Neil arrives hidden in a bouquet of flowers. When her estranged husband, Detective Zack Kier, is assigned to the case, Lindsay's past comes back with a vengeance. Because only Zack knows the dark secret she lives with--or so she thinks. Now nothing can prepare her for the nightmare to come... And Watch Them Die...
Everything Lindsay's stalker does, every life he takes, is for her. But when Lindsay spurns his gifts, she and those she loves most become targets of a depraved madman whose rage is growing, and who is waiting, watching, closer than she ever feared...

 Review January 3, 2009
Lindsay O'Neil has herself a guardian. He watches over her. Just to make sure Lindsay is aware that she is care for, her guardian leaves her presents in the form of murdered wife-beaters, with their left hands chopped off. The hands are then sent to Lindsay.
Lindsay's estranged husband, detective Zack Kier is on the case. Zack has not seen Lindsay in about a year, though he is glad to see her again, he just wished it was under better circumstances. Lindsay and Zack team up to bring down her guardian. By doing so though, it will be exposing Lindsay's past. In order to stop her guardian, Lindsay will have to let Zack back into her life both past and present.
The guardian is not happy that Lindsay does not appreciate her gifts. So he decides to go after Lindsay's friends, to show her how much he really cares for her and that he and she are the only family she needs.
Lindsay is a good heroine. She is not afraid to face a killer straight on. Even when he is wearing his sunglasses, Zack oozes sex appeal. I'm Watching You is Mary Burton's debut novel. I can tell you that having read both this novel and Dead Ringer, Mrs. Burton is a force to be reckoned with. She is a powerhouse when it comes to exhilarating suspense. For anyone who wants a new author to read, now is the best time to check out both of Mrs. Burton's books with I'm Watching You and Dead Ringer.

Lindsay O'Neil came from a home where she and her
mother endured a life of physical abuse at the hands
of her father. One day, she came home and found her
mother's brutally battered body. Her father had left
the scene and gone to a motel where he committed
suicide. Lindsay was seventeen. To avoid ending up
in a foster home. Lindsay ran away to California where
she assumed a new name and moved on with her life.
What had happened to her mother was something that
she could not overcome. While in California, she was
able to earn her college degree.
Lindsay return to Richmond, Va. where she grew up. She
is committed to helping battered families get a second
chance in life. When the body of an abuser is found behind
the shelter where Lindsay is the director, her estranged
husband, Homicide Detective Zach Kier takes the case, on the
condition that his partner Detective Jacob Warwick is the lead.
Lindsay and Zach are separated due to his alcoholism, he was
able to seek help, Lindsay was unable to trust him.
There is a deranged killer on the loose who kills men who
battered and abused their wives and leaving the bodies in
different locations. The killer sends Lindsay flowers with
a note "Lindsay, you are not alone anymore. The Guardian."
Detective, Warwick and Kier they realize that Lindsay is in
some way connected to the murders. She may not be the
killer The Guardian knows her.
I liked Lindsay and Zach. Their characters were well
developed as well as the secondary characters. It was
impossible to figure-out who the killer was until the
very end of the book. The plot line, about a serial
killer, was not described in a gross way, more of a
protector. The story line kept me captivated until the
last page. My first book, I've read by this author,
excellent writing, suspenseful and very little romance.
I'm Watching You it's the first in the series.
Mary Burton has a second book in the sequel
"Dead Ringer."
I highly recommend.

This is a page turner from the moment you open the book. A good suspense with a little romance between lindsey and zack. She kept my interest that I had to force myself to put the book down so I could get some work done. This is the first Mary Burton book I've read and I plan to go check out and see what other books she has out. I put this author with my other favorites like Lisa Gardner, Mary Clark Higgins, Laura Griffin, Tami Hoag, Sandra Brown, just to name a few. Highly recommend this book.
 It was an average read for me October 15, 2008

Nothing too exciting and it was pretty predictible. I figured out the mystery pretty early on. I will say the characters were definitely interesting and I will read her next book in this series just for that alone. I just hope the next one relays more chemistry between the two lead characters. I didn't feel there was any chemistry between Zach and Lindsey. If you like a good suspense novel, this will be good, but do not buy it if you want a good romance story as well - there really isn't one.
Good action, not so good romance October 7, 2008

This book is set in Richmond, VA, and I always get a little extra thrill when I read something that's set in a place I am familiar with. It's like I'm in on a secret. Beyond that, I thought this was a decent book, with the twist of an extra bad guy. I could have stood a little more...something...between Lindsay and Zack. Some stronger push and pull, some more spark, just something. I just didn't feel the chemistry that was supposed to be between them, even when they were arguing. The relationship just seemed kinda flat. But, I would read more from Mary Burton, especially since I now know she's a local author. She has a sequel to this book (of sorts -- it features secondary characters) out in November.
