This is already the third book of the Detective Kay Hunter series and I just can’t help myself picking up another one whenever I’m in the mood for a good detective thriller. Because the fact is: this series has a consistantly good quality and never disappoints. Excellent writing, interesting plots, a kick ass main character that you will find yourself rooting for, a healthy dose of suspense, plot twists… Oh, yes, this series follows the perfect recipe for a successful detective thriller and adds a little something extra to keep you fully hooked. One To Watch is no different and I literally finished book number three in one sitting. Fast, engaging, intriguing, suspenseful, twisty… One To Watch was simply unputdownable. I had my suspicions about the who and why, but the ending definitely came as a surprise. I’m so curious about the facts around Kay’s Professional Standards investigation! I definitely can’t wait to discover more about that angle in the future books. As for the plot in One To Watch, I liked how something seemingly simple turned out to have quite a few disguised layers, secrets and twists. If you like detective thrillers, you will have a blast reading both One To Watch and the rest of the series. Just make sure to reserve enough free time, because this story is highly addictive!

Just hours after sharing a secret with her best friend Eva, the teenager Sophie Whittaker ends up dead. She was murdered at her own private party in the Kentish countryside, and Detective Kay Hunter and her team are called in to investigate. What initially seemed to be an easy case, soon turns out to be a lot more complicated as more and more secrets and lies are exposed… Who wanted Sophie dead and why?

Detective Kay Hunter is without doubt one of my new favorite characters and I just love spending more time with her. My experience with book number three One To Watch was no different and I literally devoured this story in one sitting. Highly addictive, well written and a plot and plot twists that will keep you hooked until the very end! Oh yes, if you are a fan of the genre, you are missing out if you don’t read this series. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed by Kay Hunter and her investigations.
