Diary of A Curtain Twitcher
Wonderfully human and real, John Joiner and his substitute housekeepper Maria, soon pulled this reader into the suspense of this page turning thriller. Agoraphobic, John, has been trapped by his own fears and now lives vicariously by spying on his neighbors via an elaborate array of electronic and computer equipment. When he and Maria overhear a murder plot, reluctant to reveal John's hobby by going to the police, they decide to investigate and try to prevent the murder on their own. But, this is no simple murder plot, and John will have to battle his guilt over his fiance Sara's death and overcome his fears, if he is to save his new love, Maria. From first page to last, Diary of A Curtain Twitcher is an edge of your seat read. Andy Davie keeps the thrills, chills, and suspense twisting though the pages. Great reading.

I want MORE!
Diary of a Curtain Twitcher is a story about two people who stumble on a murder plot. A reclusive writer, John Joiner, and his temporary housekeeper, Maria Coruna overhear a phone conversation and try to foil the planned murder. While they set about stopping the bad guys, the unlikely couple fall in love and a whole world of danger. The plot is cleverly written, but the interpersonal action, though subtle, is very well shown and seems very real, at least to me. From the opening page to the last, this book had me hooked. I found myself wanting, no, needing to know what happened next. The characters are so real to me, I couldn?t help wanting them to get it together and I wasn?t disappointed when they did, I couldn?t help relating to them. Why this book isn?t already a movie is beyond me, it?s brilliant! I for one can?t wait to read more from Andy Davie. I highly recommend this book. If you haven?t bought and read it yet, buy it now! Mr. Davie has a fan in me for sure! I bought Diary of a Curtain Twitcher at the same time I bought Red Dragon by Harris. I was going to read Red Dragon first, but couldn't put Davie down. I want more Davie!
