I'd never heard of the author before so had very few expectations for One Step Behind. It sounded like a good thriller and it's been ages since I read a book about stalking. This is a great book and I'll probably read the author again. The book has multiple narrators including Jenna and the sister of the alleged stalker. I liked the way the chapters bounce effortlessly between the different POV's and almost moves back and forth in time. I had so many questions as I read this. Why would someone stalk Jenna? Is Matthew really the stalker? If Matthew is not the stalker who is? What the hell is going on? One Step Behind is my kind of thriller, great characters, plenty of action and drama and full of twists and turns. I had a great time reading this.
